Popular Post MoseySusan ★ Posted January 2 Popular Post Share #3 Posted January 2 This is the roasted bird. The meat is dark and sinuous, with the texture of medium rare prime rib. If you will, isolate the flavor of that darkest curve of flesh on a turkey leg, the one attached to a tendon, the one that frays at the edges when you pull it from the bone. Goose meat is similar in flavor. So, it’s like chewing prime rib, but tasting the darkest part of fowl leg. And it’s incredibly greasy. This 9 pound bird rendered two cups of fat, even without the chunks I removed from tail end of the cavity. I have some leftover I’ll probably reheat and eat with the leftover goose fat roasted potatoes. I also really liked the peas and carrots I made. I softened the carrots a little in ghee, seasoned with nutmeg, ginger, and thyme, then added frozen peas until heated through. So yummy. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan ★ Posted January 2 Share #4 Posted January 2 Leftovers. I also made smoked sausage with onions in case someone couldn’t stomach the goose. 2nd Son ate both legs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it provide interesting sandwich meat..maybe with mustard, something pickled inside, etc.? I like certain dark meat and some white meat. I'm not always a total white meat bird person. Carrot mix is good. Wild rice on the side is something or even a interesting couscous with mint and citrus juice would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan ★ Posted January 2 Share #6 Posted January 2 Prepping goose requires removing the wing tips and arm down to the first joint. My knife wasn’t sharp enough to cleave through bone (like Julia Childs), so I broke the two wing joints first then cut the skin and tendon to remove. It was gross. Breaking a big wing joint makes a sickening crack. I don’t know how butchers do it every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe finely chopped into a salad with pickle, onion, mustard, mayo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been watching A Christmas Carol nearly every day for over a month. The Cratchit family have goose for Christmas dinner. We saw goose for sale at the grocery store, and he asked if we could try it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
