Except geese have no honour (don’t forget the u).
Canada Goose
They’re not citizens. It’s just their name.
Also, Cobra Chicken.
As a Native Canadian who hunted these damned things when I was younger … I always loved learning about ‘cobra chicken’ … it’s how I refer to them now
How do they taste?
I don’t even think I’ve had domestic goose. I’ve had duck. I haven’t generally eaten meat in many years, but I do make exceptions and eat wild game caught by a non-sport hunter.
Like dark roast beef.
It’s not like turkey or even the dark meat of turkey … it’s more like a classic roast beef. Even the taste is like beef rather than poultry.
Roasted is good but the best, to me any way, is to have it prepared and smoked like beef jerky. I used to help my mom prepare about fifty of these birds every spring. She was like a surgeon or scientific butcher that could carve a whole bird into a flat single continous piece of flesh the size of a large doormat and thin as cardboard. If done properly, a skilled butcher like my mom would leave behind two pieces of a whole bird. One matt of flesh with no bones and another carcass with just bones and a tiny bit of flesh. These thin layers of flesh and the bony carcass were then smoked in a teepee for about two or three days and dried up like beef jerky and tasted about the same. Goose is also fatty so the jerky was a taste combination of fatty beef, almost like beef jerky slathered with bacon fat. And done this way could last about month or so in cool storage or months if frozen. And it tasted great … to me anyway, I grew up eating this from the time I was very young.
I’m salivating at the thought … I haven’t had that in years now.
Are geese native to Q’onoS?
As their saying is: peace was never an option.
If you gotta problem with Canada gooses you gotta problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate
