About Goose, domesticated, meat and skin, raw
The greylag goose (Anser anser) is a large wild gray goose of Europe and Asia and the ancestor of most domestic goose breeds, giving it a long history as a food bird. Bulky and heavy-bodied with pink legs and a stout orange bill, it has rich, dark, flavorful meat and a generous layer of fat prized for roasting. As a poultry, goose is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins, and its rendered fat, or schmaltz, is treasured for roasting potatoes to a crisp golden finish.
Goose has been a centerpiece of festive tables for centuries, especially at Christmas and Michaelmas, slow-roasted until the skin crisps and the meat turns succulent. Its darker, gamier flavor sets it apart from turkey or chicken, and it pairs beautifully with tart fruit like apple and cherry. Pricking the skin helps the fat render as it roasts. Choose a plump bird with clean, unblemished skin, and keep goose well chilled, cooking fresh birds within a day or two or freezing them.
