- Having cooked both domestic and wild goose with reasonable success, the
- first thing the cooks must remember is that the domestic and the wild
- birds are as different as night and day.
-
- The domestic goose is a regular butter-ball; so laden with fat that the
- main issue is draining the bird as is roasts! Domestic goose should be
- roaster on a rack over a pan. Breast up works fine. The key trick is to
- make a number of short slices in the skin of the back to let the fat
- drain out of the bird.
-
- The wild goose is as lean as the domestic bird is fat! So, the main
- problem with a wild bird is drying it out as you cook it. I have found
- that enclosing the bird in an appropriately sized paper bag that has
- been completely greased is very effective. (This technique also works
- well with lean turkeys.) Open the bag to brown the skin for the last 20
- minutes of cooking.
