Ive been given a goose that my mate was given (so its 3rd hand !) that he shot on the marshes, Norfolk. Now, I have drawn it and plucked all the feathers off it including most of the down... but it is very lean ! I thought geese were fatty... not this bird. Im a bit concerned it will shrivel up and turn to carpet after I cook it... how best to cook it ?? can you add fat ?

Its a Canada goose apparently. Appreciate some knowledge by those with experience

Have you considered using an oven?

do a three bird roast with loads of stuffing

Treat it like a turkey. Thick layer of butter rubbed all over then drape it in bacon! Shove a halved onion, a halved lemon, some chopped garlic and a bunch of thyme, sage and rosemary up its bum! Put an inch of boiling water in the roasting tin, tent it with foil until the last half hour, take the foil off and whack the temp up to crisp it!

oh and use an oven!

Have you considered Google?

I would cook it slow and long as if it is an older bird it will be a bit tough if cooked fast, wild birds tend to be less fatty due to the fact they do more exercise and eat more grass and less pellets than domesticated geese.

Sent from my iPhone using the ARRSE application. No excuse for fat fingers. Learn to spell.

I'd microwave it til it's luke warm. Then fuck it. Then bin it, and order a Chinese.
