Has anyone ever eaten...Boiled Goose? For real?!
But seriously folks...does anyone *actually* eat goose that way aside from old white people. ;-)
Ten points for a real goose-related answer/actual recipe for boiled goose.
Answers:
I'm an old white person and I've never eaten boiled goose. I've roasted a fair few in my time (we usually have a goose for Christmas lunch) and then boiled the carcass to make soup afterwards.
Goose has got a reputation for being greasy but, if you cook it properly, it's not greasy at all. The main thing to remember is to dry the bird thoroughly with kitchen paper and then prick it all over to allow the fat to run out while it's cooking. Never, never, never, put the goose on the bottom of the roasting dish, always make sure that you rest it on a rack to allow the fat to drip out of the bird and into the bottom of the roasting dish. This fat makes the best gravy and the best roast potatoes.
Going back to the Boiled Goose question for a minute - I've quite often boiled a chicken by putting it in a casserole with some onions and chicken stock and stuck it in the oven for a couple of hours (very yummy) and I suppose you could do something similar with a goose - but it would a criminal waste of a fantastic piece of poultry imho.
Sounds good. I had goose once. It was not boiled and seemed to have a greasy taste. Boiling it would probably get rid of that taste and feel. But I would assume you would have to season it somehow to make it taste like anything. I mean chicken, turkey and duck all taste like nothing when boiled, why would goose be any different.
I visitied Austria over Christmas once and they served goose. It had been boiled before it was baked.
It was OK. I thought it was a bit greasy. Google boiled goose and you'll get plenty of recipes.
Hmmm. I am old and white and I have never had boiled goose. In fact, the closest I've gotten to eating a goose was pate - now that's good eatin'!
