The one time we attempted roast goose for Christmas it was an epic disaster. Epic. The goose tasted beyond awful.
If you decide to have roast goose, find a good recipe with a lot of reviews. |

| I insisted we make a Christmas goose once as a tween. No one ever mentioned the idea again. |

This Christmas meal is on the highway to the danger zone! |

| I did it one time only. Not only was the result practically inedible, but my new oven got splattered and burned on grease. I never was able to get the oven door glass clean. |

I had goose one Christmas. We ordered one for a family meal and we came down with COVID and so no one came to dinner that year. It was awful tasting and didn't ever have one again.
I don't think most people like goose. |

| Geese mostly like to eat grasses and berries, so perhaps try serving them that? |

| Yuk. My mother served goose on holidays when I was growing up. It’s disgusting - greasy and gamey. |

| I support the eating of any and all geese. There are too many. Also, deer. |

That's where my mind went too. He always seemed like a beef and potatoes guy to me. |

| For a Boomer “luncheon” you might as well go all out and serve creamed onions, something in aspic, salmon mousse, etc. |
