For the unaware: kofte is actually pronounced "CHOF-tuh". I asked a lady at a Mediterranean restaurant once if it was KOF-tee or KOFE-tee and was surprised by her answer.

AFAIK köfte is turkish, and not pronounced in any of the ways you mentioned. here are some good examples

That being said, I’m sure there is a greek way of saying it too, which might be what that lady told you

Don't worry- I can barely speak English but I can order a grilled meat product and a beer like a native in 50 languages!

"Excuse me waiter? There appears to be kofta in my tzatziki roll."

But for real this is making me think I should make kofta again.

Honest question: what’s goat taste like, any other meats you can compare it to?

It is rich, like beef, but with the texture of lamb. It is criminally underused. Tbh, thos came across more in the last goat I had- which was a Jamaican style curry as it was chunks rather than a kofte. This was still awesome though.

It was so good And it was in Scotland. I can only imagine how good it gets when you get it from a place where you can actually pick and choose the suppliers for the best produce rather than just having that one place that does goat.
