ElfyThe goose is an important bird and requires respect. It cannot be cooked on the run. But if you follow all the rules, you get a wonderful meal.
Dears, a meat so fine, juicy, soft and tasty my mouth has never tasted! A goose can be a real delight, if you keep in mind a few requirements: choose a fatty bird, season it and leave it to cool overnight in the refrigerator, then roast it until the meat is done and just finish browning it.
Believe me, it is a dish that will be a real culinary spectacle whenever you serve it and it will not be easily forgotten!
But… a little temperance, the goose is still fat and caloric (like everything that is good, very good, divine)!
