On my way to breakfast with some friends, we got into a discussion of whether you could get butter from goat’s milk. (I had thought that I’d read elsewhere that goat milk was too low in fat to get butter from. It turns out that not only was I mistaken, but you can purchase goat butter
from Amazon (the shipping charges will eat you alive, though), along with raw goat milk cheddar cheese
(ditto).)
This led me to the Wikipedia article on goats, which notes:
Goats readily revert to the wild (become feral) if given the opportunity. The only domestic animal known to return to feral life as swiftly is the cat.
Somehow, I am less than shocked by this.

You got me thinking.

You can’t make cheese, though.
I would have sworn that I’d read about some restauranteur selling that cheese, but now I wonder if he was just faking it for publicity, or if he was adding something to it in order to make cheese.
I would check Google, but I am somewhat hesitant about putting those search terms into it at work.
“A-ha!”, he declared.
