First goose, yipee

[MartinP]

Hey all

Shot my first Goose this evening, overhead, 1st shot, dropped like a rock and missed me by 5 feet!! nobody said anything bout wearing a helmet!!

Sent the dog to pick it up (wanted to test him with a big bird, poo'd himself as was still moving and wouldn't go near it, bloody great (shot a duck after and he would pick it up!). good nite, had a fox also!

 

Goose is a greylag, question, are they good to eat!

thanks

Is it a youngster, answer yes and it is, answer no and it will be as tough as a "Hoor`s heart"

 

For best results either way try a casserole

All depends how you cook it HD

 

Cook it in the oven slow roasting with tinfoil sealing the tin, onion in the cavity, butter between Skin and meat, plenty of chooped root veg on the bottom of the pan, bird on top with a stock made from the giblets poured in. Cook on high heat for 20 mins and then turn down to 150 and cook for 3 hours.

 

Slice thinly and the thing should melt in your mouth.

If it's young it's great. If it's an older one then you need to roast it, with a brick for 3 hours at a moderate temp. Once it's finished cooking, discard the goose and eat the brick.

 

Sorry mate - couldn't resist :look:

 

We had one last Jan - I thought it would be OK but I have to say it was the worst ever meal we've had from shooting. Thankfully my 17 year old eats anything and everything and he picked the bones clean. The poor dog gets little from the table lately.
