Goose?

[MoveOnTheCards]

For the first time ever it will be just me, DH and DS for the whole of Christmas Day () so we're thinking of ditching the turkey for something a bit more exciting, maybe goose?

As my Christmas meal prep is usually 'keep it easy, buy it prepped' I'm not quite sure where to start!

Where the Jeff do I buy a goose (no decent butchers by us even though we're in London!), are they really expensive and what the hell do I do with it to get the best out of it?

Is it overkill for 3 people, allowing for Boxing Day leftovers before we're inevitably sick of it?!

Please help or it will be turkey again!

i think we had a goose crown from lidl (or possibly aldi) last year....I am not hugely impressed tbh, but everyone else loved it.

the trick to moist turkey meat is not to buy a whole turkey....get a crown, preferably a boned and stuffed one and it cooks through very quickly, and is deliciously tasty once it has rested.
