What is everyone having for their Christmas dinner this year? I'm intrigued to see the variety
Mine is going to be pigs in blankets, stuffing and a potato (random I know)
We have goose and roasted ham every year instead of Turkey. Stuffing roasted vedge etc relatively generic stuff but I prefer goose over turkey cause of if the crispy skin you get like you do on ducks. We have Christmas day then have a family shoot the day after Christmas. I get more exited for shoot day than I do Christmas. My extended family own a farm so we shoot on there land.
Never actually tried goose, what is it like?
goose is amazing. it's like a gamey chicken, much stronger taste, and you can use the goose fat to cook your roast potatoes and they then become the best potatoes you will ever eat! i think you need to have redcurrant jelly or similar with goose but I'm not very good with those kind of things.
Turkey was imported from the American Colonies. Goose was the Christmas meat before.
However, I love turkey. Maybe because it's dry. Also, I was brought up with it.
