Cooking a goose

[madzone]

Force them to play skipping games until they're exhausted, then chop the fuckers heads off

You'd have to pluck the feathered fucka with a blow lamp

We tried with the ducks but we still had quilly bits stuck in the (scorched) skin

Dunno

Chop their heads off I guess.

If they're as much of a fucker to pluck as ducks are she'll probably get let off for good behaviour anyway

On a work visit to China last year I observed an old dear standing at a bus stop, killing a goose (as one does when one waits for a bus). She was holding it by it's bill and swinging it around her head.

We've got one running round outside that needs to 'go'. I don't think I'd like goose though - I can't stand duck.

It's a bit far for me to come for a goose Madzone

Only an hour and a half on the train from yours to hers, quicker than going into the centre of Londinium Imagine

Your goose is cooked

Cloning has taking the taste out of chicken and turkey, but not yet goose and duck. I remember chickens tasting much nicer back in the 16thC.

The origin of the phrase your goose is cooked relates to the fact that once cooked it will lay no more eggs, it can be eaten only once, your food source is ended, so you are in big trouble. Best to keep your goose alive and laying eggs than to cook it for just one meal.

That's one helluva fast train

Apart from the warnings about smoke 'n grease - you may want to take the precaution of having someone about to help you get the damn thing in & out of the oven - they're big and bloody heavy.

But far, far, far nicer than anu turkey ever bred or roasted and not really all that much fattier than duck.

Christmas goose FTW!

One of the things I *heart* about urban is ownership of food and where it comes from. I once posted on Femail about how their christmas turkeys had likely lived and died and there was a complete fucking furore

Apparently I ruined a lot of peoples' christmas

Another warning for anyone with a small oven; if any tiny part of your goose overhangs the roasting dish, arrange sheets of foil to direct the fat back into the roasting tray. The fat comes off a goose at much the same rate as water out of a quarter-turned-on tap and if it can escape the tray, it will. In our case it poured out under the oven door for a short while, much to the delight of the elder of our dogs
