I know, we play football on fields covered in it.

You can say shit on the internet, you know.

That's about the only place they don't shit.

Eat them!! People shoot bloody Pheasant, I'm sure there's more meat on a Canada Goose!
(NB - pheasant, not peasant. the latter is no longer legal, like foxhunting. Although, we all know foxhunting continues undercover...........

SultanOfSwing

Much more meat on a goose, but I'm not about to get into a fight with one.

macliam

Come on, what's it gonna do? Pull a knife on you?!!.... actually, there's a possibility that inner city geese might

A big Canada Goose can break your arm.

It would be pretty low on my choice for dinner as the meat is bland and greasy. I had some once, and while I wouldn't starve if all that was available to eat was goose, I am not in any hurry to eat goose again.

macliam

Badly cooked then - can't speak for the Canada variety (although the fact they're called "flying roast beef" suggests something) - but Roast Goose was the Christmas dinner before Turkey was foisted on us and is delicious.... as for the roasties

Pulaski

That's when I had it, and no, it wasn't.

macliam

.... are you sure? Sounds a lot like the old wives tale here that a Swan can do the same - and it can't.
Lots of noise, lots of hissing, lots of aggressive wing-flapping and the possibility of a nasty peck, but no more.

There are people who can burn water...........

But "greasy" may be the issue...... the idea is to drain off the fat - and there's a lot of it!!

I find turkey is ok with a good gravy.
Generally though it's a perfectly functional protein.

SultanOfSwing

I have an arrangement with geese. I leave them alone, and they crap all over our football pitches. It's rather lopsided but it keeps my face from having a beak in it.

I've never had it, but I've never had pheasant either for that matter. I do just fine with chicken and turkey anyway.

macliam

To be honest, I'm sure some turkey must be better than eating wet cardboard but I'd rather not try.
