Ispired by the credit crunch christmas dinner article posted earlier I am thinking about serving goose.

Is it greasy, dp does not eat duck as he thinks it is greasy will he not eat goose.

Tastes like chicken.

think about the difference between steak and venison. it's like that gap, between a good chicken and goose.

It is lovely, it does make a huge amount of fat so you need to drain constantly but sweetie gosse is very expensive.

So if he loves chicken, which he does will he like goose.

So it is nothing like duck.

DH - texture is like duck, and a bit stronger tasting than duck.

Also trying to organise a bit f riding for your DD when you come down for the day.

I'm having a goose.
One plucked by my salt colleague which is a bit mad.

It tastes like greasy chicken/turkey.

Yes, it is greasy, like duck, but it does not have the gaminess of duck.

soapbox · 15/12/2008 23:15

I think it depends whether he dislikes duck because it is greasy, or because of its taste.

If it is the former then he will not like goose!

He says it is because of the taste, he is laughing at me trying to pursuade him into a goose.

I just thought we dont like turkey and a chicken goes nowhere and I would like some leftovers.

Coldtits · 15/12/2008 23:25

What about a nice capon?

Coldtits · 15/12/2008 23:26

Capon is chickeny but more so. And also nice and big.

Have never heard of a capon, is it nice as well as big? Is it expensive?

OP posts:
Aitch · 15/12/2008 23:57

we used to get a capon before the family got too big. it's just a large chicken, isn't it?
