chevon

Cabrito, when adult

Chevon is goat meat, analogous to how beef refers to cattle meat or pork to pig meat.

The term appears mainly in culinary and agricultural contexts: Chevon is leaner than lamb.

Though goat is the world's most widely consumed red meat, the word chevon remains unfamiliar to many English speakers, who simply say goat meat.
