Thinking of this as an alternative to Turkey this Xmas but have never cooked it before. Anyone had it as a roast and any cooking tips?

my sis in law lives in the middle of the cotswolds and teaches a lot of farming kids - one year we had a gift of a goose for the family xmas dinner - i cannot tell you how many pints of fat came out of it - not eaten it since

This, cook it for twice as long on half the heat as you would cook the equivalent weight beef joint. If that makes any sense :/

Cook it slowly, as it can take twice as long as normal cuts of meat.

You can do it in a slow cooker as well. And you can do it with beer or even cider. Its a strong taste though when its been hung, and kids don,t always like it.

I'm having it myself, the rest of them are having turkey, but as I'm cooking, I get to choose what gets cooked. The deer was shot last week by my mate and he's bringing it to me nearer to the day. I might even do a rabbit on new years day.

Ah well with goose you have to allow for that. You have to raise it up out of the pan.

Perfect sense, thank you. Am torn between cooking very quickly at high heat so it is quite rare, or slower and at low heat as suggested. Decisions decisons.
