While picking up some rabbits to butcher for a fellow, his neighbor stopped by, and the conversation turned to goats and goat milk.
The neighbor said "Oh, I can't stand goat's milk. It tastes like a billy goat peed in it."
What do you folks say to people who have made up their mind about goat's milk but never tasted the good stuff?
I tried to tell him that done properly, goat's milk is wonderful. I said that having the doe wander into the onion patch, or mishandling the milk could affect taste negatively, as could a diseased animal or one that just doesn't give good tasting milk, but he had his mind already made up.
I wanted to say "I guess I just like eating nasty stuff and feeding it to my family too." Sheesh. Advice for these situations? What was the right line here?
