Goose Mini Feast

My google search last night was "wild goose cook safely".

Cooking wild goose made me nervous.  The native advice that I've gotten ran along the lines of: 
     a) Don't cook it too short, or it can make you sick,  and
     b) Don't cook it too long, or it will be too dry

 The traditional way here to eat birds of any kind is to make bird soup.  It is quick, easy, and feeds a lot of people.   Since I am pot-and-pan-challenged here, I decide to roast the geese in the oven.  I looked up lots of recipes, and decided to use a recipe that I have used successfully with chicken, Roast Sticky Chicken.

When I went to the school kitchen to ask to borrow a pot to cook rice, the cook was interested in my gussak attempts at preparing geese, so she and her daughter joined us.

It was a fun time, the geese turned out well... I think everyone was surprised.  Whew. After all my years of cooking, I'm learning new tricks!

  1. Janet, you are wonderful! You cook up roast goose in the wilds and then share it with guests. I love this!

    PS Did things simmer down between the two boys at school? I keep thinking about them.
