Traditionally this dish is made with the head and legs of a goat. And, yes, it does taste excellent prepared properly! I've adjusted the recipe here so that goat or lamb meat can be used instead. The traditional recipe also uses utazi (a native bitter leaf). I have substituted a mix of spinach and dandelion leaves which approximates the taste of utazi.
