Kid goat or young goat meat, a delicacy in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
From Italian capretto, diminutive of capra meaning goat, from Latin capra; the diminutive form emphasizes the young, tender nature of the animal.
Capretto has been treasured in Mediterranean cooking for centuries—Romans ate it at special feasts, and it remains a springtime delicacy in Italy where young goat is considered far more tender than adult goat!
