    If its clean, I'm going with a nice pint of Guinness!
    if its a bit ripe, it tastes like licking the terminals of a nine volt battery.

    Do you concur?

    Unfortunately, many a time I've had that metallic battery terminal taste.
    You just suck it up, literally.

    They taste like the rest of us, with their tongues...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭haminka


    I'm not Polish but I ate geese and if well prepared, they taste very very good. And, of course, a nice big liver, if the goose was well fed, the taste is simply out of this world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Very similiar taste to small salty kittens.

    Why the weirdness about it, I thought it was more traditional to have a Goose for Christmas than a Turkey? Considering how it's mentioned by Charles Dickens in that Scrooge story. And referenced a bit in a Sherlock Holmes story as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    if memory serves me correctly...it like a cross between chicken and duck

    They also produce excellent oat-fed geese, which are sold in quality foodstores all over Europe (often labelled Polnische Hafermast Gans, because the main market is Germany). It makes an excellent alternative to turkey and has a richer taste, but you will get less meat from it, because a large proportion of its body weight is fat, which dissolves in the oven.:):)

    My Grandma used to feed the geese with a mixture of oats, fresh greens and corn to fatten them up and they had a thick layer of fat, which is natural.
    However, when roasting a whole goose, you can strain the fat and use it as a bread spread or for roast potatoes, it will last months in the fridge. You can also cut the skin into chunks and fry them while you are roasting the goose and even add them to the strained fat for added yumminess. My Grandma would also boil some potatoes and mash them with a bit of the fat and skin chunks. She was Hungarian and when it comes to preparing delicious strictly no-diet dishes, they definitely know what they are doing.
