My favourite wildfowler (Hello, Nigel!) kindly gave me a Canada goose yesterday. It was a warmish day so I dressed it after a few hours. Usually I make a decent enough job of a bird, but this one has me beaten. The feathers are leaving bits behind, and even going at it with a pair of tweezers is ridiculously slow. I'm working on the breast and wanted to make a good job of it to feed it to some young friends who are eating less meat to help fight climate change 😱 What do I do? If I keep going at this rate the meat will be out the fridge long enough to spoil. Do I give it and skin the breast? Do I give it a wave over with the blow torch and ignore the feather stubs? Your expert advice would welcome, even if it is "wait a bit and get another goose next month" 😄 If there is some plucking technique I have yet to learn I'd love to know about it. Right now looks like the kids are going to be getting pigeon instead!
