Goose for Christmas? (44)

I saw (but never go close enough to) a fabulous Great Blue Heron, a variety of ducks, some bloody-minded swans, a few different ducks, Canada geese and this one which must be a hybrid, something produced through the union with a barnyard goose.
Now, of course, they've all long since gone south. And I cannot help but wonder whether this one has ended up in somebody's oven by now.
Funny thing is that I do not know many people who do eat goose for Christmas or any other time of year. I have cooked it only three times in my life and each time I got better at it. The trick is to rub the bird with lots of lemon and then keep pouring off the fat over and over again. There is a lot of fat with a domestic goose! But it does taste wonderful!

Thanks for looking and have a very Merry Christmas
To my sweet TN friends: I shall try to post as often as I can during the holidays and I promise to schedule myself some time to post more often in the New Year. |
