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

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

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

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

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.

Luncheon = 1950s Junior League menus

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

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.

In How to Cook Everything, Mark Bittman suggests:

Wild greens salad
Roast Goose
Bread stuffing with mushrooms
Pureed turnips
Baked pumpkin slices
Roasted chestnuts
Lemon, orange, or grand marnier souffle
Egg nog

Silver Palate Cookbook suggests the following menu for Christmas dinner:

Scalloped oysters
Goose stuffed with cranberries & kumquat dressing
Baked kumquats and parsnips
Three onion casserole
English trifle
