my goose is cooked – now what?

December 26, 2008 in Random | 8 comments

I cooked a goose on Christmas day, but what with all the vegetables (roast potatoes in goose fat; sprouts with pancetta and marsala wine; red cabbage with orange and juniper; thankfully plain peas) and various sauces (juniper gravy; port, prune & chestnut stuffing; bread sauce; lemon and apple puree), not much actual bird was eaten. So now I have rather a lot of goose in my fridge and need a goosey recipe. Any ideas?

    My godmother marga says shred the bird and crisp it up in the oven at a high heat and then either eat with pancakes a la crispy chinese duck or put in a salad mmmmmmmmmm.

    The othets say goose pilau.

    i am full. no more food
