We have all seen movies were somebody cooks the turkey, looks delicious as it comes from the oven and when the carving knife goes in you see a puff of dust as it is so dry
Well yesterday I cooked a goose, another one of the great number I have cooked over the years.
It looked big John put it in the roaster so I didn't feel it
I thought it odd that it didn't relaease much fat.
I went to take it out and it felt so light I couldn't believe it.
Then we cut it!!!
This was basically an empty carcass covered in skin.
We couldn't believe our eyes, it must have starved to death.
I have never seen anything like this before,John collapsed into laughter, then me.
We could not even face the thought of trying to scrape the scraps of meat off the bone, and I do mean scraps.
Has anybody ever seen this.
The goose came from Germany, are they different??
And no I didn't overcook it!!
I doubt if I will ever be able to buy another one, it really was a skeleton covered in skin.
We had poached eggs on toast for dinner as John flatly refused to have anything to do with it.
Still laughing!!
