I recommend Hamdi's goat plate only to adventurous eaters and people who like to be a part of cross-cultural conversation. The Somalis had good laugh sparked by my attempts to say goat in their native language: ha (z)ri.
For my squeamish second-grade classmates, I'd suggest Thyme for Goat, a consortium of Maine goat farmers, which sells more familiar cuts, such as chops, at the Bath, Damariscotta, and Rockland farmers markets. Get there early, though. They sell out. You can also order goat meat online atwww.thymeforgoat.com. Orwhisper in your favorite chef's ear.
