Goose breast - medium rare (1)
Home-made cranberry sauce
Home-made apple, prune, citrus and chestnut stuffing
Rosemary / goose fat roast potatoes
Cumin roast parsnip and carrots
Pigs in blankets
Pan fried Brussels sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta
Accompanied by goose gravy made from the carcass on Christmas Eve. The remaining goose has then been used to make a goose soup that will probably become a cassoulet-style meal.

(1) For a change this year we butchered the goose and cooked the breast like a duck breast (pan fried). The rest of the goose was confit in its own fat in a very low oven (with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and some star anise). The remaining carcass
