My husband will be 80 next month, and as a child, he remembers that his family always had goose at Christmas. Believe it or not, chicken and turkey was out of the reach of most working class families. Over the years we've been together, we've served goose a few times at Christmas. We usually go to a farm local to our UK base in Devon and buy a fresh one. The taste is out of this world, but it is expensive, so it's an occasional treat.
Have you ever had goose for Christmas? What do you serve it with? I make an apple and prune stuffing to stuff the cavity, forcemeat for the neck, which we serve with the meat, and a prune and brandy sauce to accompany it. I could just eat one now, but we can't get them here in Spain!
