Lidl Goose – Recommended by Gastronaughts

Goose from Lidl

The Observer Food Monthly top tipped the frozen goose from Lidl as a cracking bargain – if prepared properly it would be just as good as any free range organic freedom food bird on the market.

How times have changed now when we hear “We actually had goose last year” we are less likely to reply “was it enjoyable – you aspirational twerp?”

Christmas Goose

I don’t even think it’s the goose that’s important rather than the underlying reasons for having goose. The wording of this statement is put in such a way that the person clearly knows it’s the norm to have turkey, but he or she is bucking the trend, and for that reason knows something the rest of us don’t. Pretentious bullpoo at best. I’ve no problem with someone having goose at Christmas or some other socially deviant dish (I read of muppets that  insist on  mothers cooking frozen pizza) but if you feel the need to broadcast what you ate or plan to eat in order to elevate yourself from the masses, then you can indeed go flipperty yourself and run back to Borough Market or Fresh and Wild.

But on an unrelated note, how does goose hold up in a post Christmas curry?

Make pasty to traditional recipe substituting goose leftovers instead of skirt.
