I figured that I since I never had goose before, it would make an excellent Christmas dinner. So I informed at the local shop. "Very hard to come by this year. We may have two by Friday. And it'll be € 24.95/kg". I guess the goose has to wait till another year. Quail it will be this year. Found an interesting looking recipe - quail with a chocolate sauce.
I've never had quail, but I've had Cornish game hens. The impression I came away with was that far too much of my effort was required for the amount of food I managed to pick from the tiny carcass.
But I must admit that it sounds good.
