any goose cooking virgins this year trying it out? How are you doing it?

[Piffle]

I was inspired by jamie of Salivas method of using veges, Ginger etc as trivet...
So am following his method loosely.
Fingers crossed!

We, well not me, are doing Delia's prunes and brandy stuffing I think. Am a bit worried I might not like it but not that worried. Just want the shopping and prep to end now.

I know!
We are doing plum and Ginger stuffing...
Off to begin wrapping presents
Oh dear god I wish it were over.

AWT was talking about cooking goose on R5 this morning - said expect more than a pint of fat to come off it (keep tipping it away he said, although not down the sink as it blocks them ). He also said not to cover it as steamed goose v fatty and bleurgh. Does that agree with St Jamie's recipe?

I am just going to put in in the oven, uncovered, for about 3 1/2 hours.

No rubbing or anything, stuffing on the side.

One thing I am not sure about is whether to turn it upside down halfway through cooking, I have read this as a tip to drain off additional fat. Anyone trying this?

It is blinking enormous though, hope I like it!

utter triumph. Tons of fat came off but raised on bed of veges
Have done gravy and superbness!!!!!
Yum
