Why no mention of the other "good stuff" they leave behind? That has value as well.

@accidentalepicurean: There are many types of Morning Glory. I am not familiar with pad boom fai dang, but if it is made with what I know as Water Morning Glory, also known as Water Spinach (and, I think, Rau Muong in Vietnamese), I'd love the dish. I'm no botanist, but I suspect that Water Morning Glory, which I believe is a more or less aquatic plant, is not the same thing as the Morning Glories with the pretty flowers that we see frequently in N. America and which goats apparently will take pleasure in eating.

I HEART goats...I would laugh all the time if we had so many goats around. I am going to make an appointment with the headmaster tomorrow and see if we could get a herd of goats to munch the quad. Going to go to bed smiling thinking of silly goats!!

"Rent-a-ruminant" services have been around for some time down here in Santa Barbara. The goats are a perfect choice for helping clear the steep, extremely fire prone hillsides. The goats were heroes for many, as their work prevented many houses from being burned. Is there anything a goat can't do?

Real (Wo)Men of Genius!

@accidentalepicurean, In western WA, my real morning glories (I grow blue morning glories on purpose--they are an annual that must be planted every year from seed) have to compete for food and water and sun with a wild type that is a perennial that will take over an entire house and the people in it if they move too slowly. They are really tough to get rid of, they grow up and around and through sidewalks, trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables and they are really, really hard to get rid of. If they were edible like nasturtiums, we could cure famine.

I think it is the young goats that are good eating, not the old kudzu chewing ones.

This video shows how a "fleet" of goats obliterates all weedy goodness in their path: http://www.greenwala.com/community/videos/all/404-Who-Needs-A-Lawn-Mower-Just-Rent-A-Goat

What would be the specifics for cooking this in an oven?
Thanks!

Sekkyo: Yay, you managed to miss the office worker lunch rush -- lucky you! I hope you feel better soon =)

foodinrealtime: I think San Jose has plenty of hidden gems -- especially Vietnamese food. I'll be spending the next few months actively exploring the area for more finds -- maybe you'll send me your favorites?

Yay for a San Jose restaurant !! I only live an hour away and frequently travel there for business. I will try this next time I am in the area.

This is a spin off of the original Beer Can Chicken that is absolutely fabulous!!! Why would you want to stray from the original?? I suggest you try this with a half a can of beer with some onions and peppers added, rather than a "cola." That is unless your religion prohibits the use of acohol, but then that never stopped you before. HA HA

I've heard about this for years and never tried it. But OH MY SOUL!! I have GOT to try this now! Well, I'll assemble it and have my Honey grill it. The MEN do the grilling in this house. LOL It's time to do something new too! This is now on the menu for Saturday!

I FOR GOT TO SAY THAT ANOTHER THING THAT WE DOI S SPRAY THE CAN WITH A NONSTICK SPRAY SUCH AS PAM AND THAT ALSO HELPS THE CHICKEN COME OFF THE CAN EASIER
