Do goat milk and milk go together?
A few recipes mention both. 6 recipes in our collection mention both, and they share 29 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 23% of a large random sample of ingredient pairs.
What they have in common
More than half of goat milk's flavor molecules (29 of 46) also occur in milk. Among the shared key aromas are 2,4-decadienal (seaweed) and hexanol (green, fruity). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
