What is this Goat Soup thingy anyway? In RealLife™ we slaughtered a goat for Christmas (as for almost all big holidays), and it made delicious dishes! (Although soup was not on the menu. Try roasting it!)

They imported that tradition from certain parts of Old Earth. It was a vile, inch-thick fat, stinking country soup of goat meat (d'uh) and vegetables cooked in a large marmite and served with bread and wine.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

Oh yeah! There are these traditions that should have been buried and forgotten loooooong time ago. Why it's only these that almost certainly survive? :?
