[Sussex] Where can I buy a GOOSE?

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

There you go, problem solved

 

[WATFORD zero]

We normally have Goose and most of the supermarkets will be selling Goose in the next couple of weeks. Unlike Turkeys, they all tend to be good quality. You really can't beat a timely Goose

Oh... and has anybody mentioned the FAT ?

Oh... and has anybody mentioned the FAT ?

I'm glad you mentioned this.

Has anyone come across 'The goose fat information service'?

Well, here it is.

Every year since a boy we would get our Christmas goose from The Oaks Poultry Farm just north of Ditchling. To my great dismay just loaded up their website and… no goose!

I believe @Simster has them roaming freely in his small holding…

Best fat in the world for roasting spuds though...

Agreed. I buy mine in a jar. It’s very cheap.

In all honesty though, I’m not a foody and it doesn’t make a huge amount of difference to me what roasties are cooked in.

And there you have it in a nutshell: the plebs know where it's at. The toffs, on the other hand, ...

Goose is a high maintenance cooking experience.

For those who haven’t cooked one before.. the fat. Dear Lord above! The fat.

You have to keep an eye on it so that the fat doesn’t start burning.

I can’t stress enough. The fat that comes out of a goose. It’s like roasting a walrus.

Southwick Square Butchers should have them. But if you can get hold of one, and can afford it, a wild goose is a different beast - it's a darker and richer meat.

Both Lidl and Aldi also do a frozen 4 kg goose for around £30. It may be best to ring them first.

Be mindful of what @The Clamp said about the fat. You will need to drain it off several times during cooking, to reduce the risk of fire.

That goose without saying

That goose without saying

My wife says that I snore like a walrus. I asked her how she knows what a walrus snores like, but she said she's not proud of it and it was a long time ago.

Best fat in the world for roasting spuds though...

and talking of roast spuds, after giving them the customary shake to fluff them up prior to putting them into the hot fat, sprinkle them with dry semolina … a crunch par excellence will follow

Not sure if you have sorted this already but I'd give The Oaks a call or pop in to double check.... drove past on the way to the match yesterday and the sign outside definitely listed Goose•

•May just be an old sign

Where’s the best place to buy a walrus, I quite fancy having an alternative Christmas dinner this year? Could someone also suggest a suitable stuffing as well? Thank you.
