    Look; things have changed in Jamaica. Good Cheeseburgers are not difficult to find. Seastar highly recommended but even a dozen years ago Bar-b-barn had great charbroiled hamburgs.
    Jamaica's Burger King's have posters that boast only Jamaican Beef is used.
    As long as it's cooked to 160 degrees in the middle (c); don't worry.

    We generally do not eat a lot of beef while on the island. It's always been good --if very lean-- every time I've had it however. As far as goat, on our first trip to the island, we went horseback riding... My wife's topped to take a picture of a goat in someone's front yard... The guide said "you just photographed their Christmas dinner". The look on my wife's face was priceless.

    Jamaica has regulated their beef import for many years after the mad cow outbreak in other countries. When I lived there and tried to find 'hamburger' meat - they didn't know what I was talking about ... they call it 'minced' beef It does taste a little different, and I had to get used to it before I appreciated it. Couple reasons it tastes different, it's a different breed of cattle than most of us are used to. Most of their beef is the Red Poll, a breed that does well in their climate (I think it was first introduced from New Zealand). Another reason it tastes different, it grazes on Jamaican flora ... different than the grain-fed, or range-fed beef we're used to (you don't see too many bales of hay in Jamaica). It's diet is what gives it its 'gamey' flavor. It's also more lean than most the beef we're used to .... the cows just don't get as fat as the ones here in N. America. In general, their beef is probably more wholesome, healthy, & safe than ours in the States (as long as it's cooked sufficiently). I recommend you try it if you haven't.

    I don't eat goat at home because local vendors get $18/lb for it. Love goat curry and wanted to try making it myself, but I can't bring myself to pay filet mignon prices for meat that should be relatively inexpensive. I've eaten good burgers in JA, but I can get good burgers in the states so I'd rather eat a good goat curry.
