    proliferation of Canada geese in Christchurch - and how these
    pests, as in the US, are protected

    A certain percentage could be made available for dinner

    We're doing our bit here in the north end of the Mississippi flyway.
    We have a spring hunting season as well as a fall one and I can hunt
    15 per day during the season. My Chipewyan BIL, being Indigenous
    Aboriginal with treaty rights, has no such limit. He can take as
    many as his freezer will hold.

    Title: Spiced Smoked Goose
    Categories: Game, Goose, Smoked
    Yield: 5 Servings

    1 x 4-5 lb goose
    1/2 c Lemon juice
    1 c A-1 sauce
    3 c Wine
    1 qt Vinegar
    Salt and pepper
    2 tb Allspice
    Apple wood chips
    Oranges
    Apples
    Onions

    Soak goose in brine made of lemon juice, A-1 sauce, wine, vinegar,
    salt, pepper and allspice. Make sure goose is submerged in brine;
    if there's not enough to cover, add water until covered. Let set
    24 hours, covered. I fill the pan with apple chips and light them.
    I use about 3 pans of chips altogether. Put goose into smoker and
    smoke until all the chips are used up. After the goose is smoked,
    put apples, onions, and oranges into cavity and bake in oven at
    350 - 400 F for 3 hours or more. Slice onto hot platter.

    tend to fill up the freezer, though... ;) It's a good solution... :)

    One does not get 15 or any at all on any given day. Wild geese are
    smart and have excellent eyesight. They are easily spooked and will
    fly over a blind and go on to the next lake to land.

    But only during the hunting seasons...?

    They are migratory and pass through twice a year. Their nesting
    grounds are even further north than here. The hunting season pretty
    much coincides with when they're here.

    This time of year, we see large flocks of geese (is that a gaggle?)
    nibbling on the lawns in a variety of places. It looks like one could
    easily walk up to them and twist the neck. Or at least hit them from 20
    feet with a slingshot or other primitive weapon. I assume that these
    are the same geese that fly up towards and past you.

    Title: Murgi Cutlet (Calcutta Chicken Cutlet)
    Categories: Main dish
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 md (1/2 cup) onion, sliced
    2 ts Fresh ginger, chopped fine
    2 Cloves garlic, sliced
    1/2 ts Ground turmeric
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
    2 Whole chicken breasts,
    -halved, skinned, and boned
    1/4 c Flour
    2 Eggs, beaten
    1 c Dried bread crumbs
    1/2 c Corn or peanut oil

    These popular Jewish cutlets be eaten warm or cold, at home or on
    picnics. Garlic, ginger, turmeric are common seasonings in the
    cuisine and using them to marinate the chicken produces a fine flavor
    in a relatively bland meat.

    1. In a processor, process the onion, ginger, garlic, turmeric, salt,
    and pepper into a puree. Marinate the chicken pieces in the puree
    for 2 to 3 hours.

    2. Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the flour, then into the
    eggs, and then into the bread crumbs.

    3. In a skillet, heat the oil and fry the cutlets over moderately low
    heat for about 4 minutes on each side. The cutlets should cook
    slowly. Drain briefly on paper towels.

    Serve warm. Makes 4 servings.

    NOTE: Boneless chicken thighs may also be prepared in this way.

    A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle. A group of geese in the air
    is a skein. A group of geese that has taken up permanent residence in
    any of several areas of my town is a P.I.T.A.

    And yes, we have several gaggles that are seemingly permanent - nesting
    and raising their goslings right here. They seem to have lost their fear
    of man - so it is possible, as some have done, to walk up with an old Louisville Slugger ball bat and knock one's head for a home run and have
    your holiday goose - free.

    They are nearly as big a pest as the permanent residence gulls which
    abound in fats food parking lots, etc. And a darned sight more tasty.

    Title: Chef Alfred's Goose
    Categories: Game, Poultry, Vegetables, Offal
    Yield: 6 Servings

    6 lb (to 8 lb) wild goose;
    - cleaned, well plucked
    2 lb Potatoes
    Goose liver; chopped fine
    2 md Onions; chopped
    1 tb Butter
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Sage or poultry seasoning
    1 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
    2 tb Fat
    1/4 c Water
    Flour for dredging

    Clean and dress goose; wash in cold water, being sure
    that cavity is clean. Let stand in cold water for at
    least 1 hour before cooking. For the stuffing, boil the
    potatoes in salted water with their jackets on. After
    they have cooked, peel and mash while hot.

    Lightly saute the goose liver and chopped onion in the
    butter. Add to the mashed potatoes, together with the
    herbs, salt and pepper. (You can be generous with the
    pepper, as the stuffing is best if very hot.)

    Spoon stuffing into the cavity of the goose and sew
    with cord and skewers. Do not overstuff.

    Place on a rack in an uncovered baking pan; baste with
    the fat. Add water and bake at 350°F/175°C for 2 hours,
    basting frequently. In the last half hour, dredge the
    breast with a small amount of flour. Baste again with
    the hot drippings so the skin will get crisp and brown.

    Serve hot with applesauce.

    I think they hang around the Hardee's and Mickey D's lots because there
    is more opportunity for spilled food there. I recall a story here of
    someone eating their lunch on a fast food patio when the gulls swooped
    in and suddenly he didn't "have fries with that".

    I treat the gulls the same as the geese - if they're in the road I drive
    right on. Ravens, pigeons and crows as well. All are capable of flight
    so if they don't want run over ......

    I also recall the gulls at the lobster pound, Abbots, in Mystic CT. As was said on the sign inside, if you eat on the deck make sure you guard your lobster.

    I don't recall seeing that sign. But, it's good advice. Guard against
    theft as well as "bombing" from overhead.

    Title: John's Steak Bomb Sandwich
    Categories: Sandwiches, Beef, Cheese, Chilies, Citrus
    Yield: 3 Servings

    1/2 lb Shaved, blood rare, roast
    - beef; It's gotta be rare!
    1 lg Onion; sliced thin
    2 Serrano chilies
    3 tb Inner Beauty Sauce
    2 Fresh limes; juiced
    1/2 c Mozzarella cheese; shredded
    3 sl Pumpernickel bread
    3 sl Rye bread
    2 tb Garlic butter

    You're gonna need two pans...a small skillet and a large
    griddle type pan.

    Place grated cheese on top of slices of bread.

    Place garlic butter in the bottom of the griddle and put
    in the bread to heat and crisp up (and melt the cheese).

    In the small skillet brown the sliced onions for a few
    seconds.

    Dice up the serrano peppers and add to pan for about 30
    seconds.

    Add roast beef to pan and squeeze the lime juice into
    the pan. Do so through a strainer if you worry about
    seeds ending up in the mix.

    Add the Inner Beauty Sauce and mix well.

    Reduce till not "watery".

    Place roast beef on top of Pumpernickel bread in other
    pan.

    Close sandwich w/the Rye Bread (so that each sandwich
    has 1 piece of each bread.. This is critical! (Well not
    really. Hell, you could use Wonder bread for that
    matter!)

    Slice sandwiches in half and serve.

    They are smart enough to know where they are hunted and where they
    are safe (so are deer and a lot of other animals). And many of them
    stop migrating south as soon as they find a body of water that
    doesn't freeze over. More and more they don't fly north in the
    summer either but remain resident all year long.

    I assume that these are the same geese that fly up towards and
    past you.

    Nope. I'm in the Mississippi flyway and you're in the Atlantic one.

    Geese were overhunted in your zone at one time to the point that
    they were at the point of being, not quite endangered, but
    certainly threatened and your hunting regulations became very
    restrictive. The geese have recovered, but your regs haven't
    changed. As well you have fewer active hunters than 50 years ago.
    Our zone, being more rural in both Canada and the US has more
    hunters, as well as longer seasons and bigger limits which are
    closely monitored and quite dynamic.

    and wing tips in water to cover with carrot, celery, and 1
    teaspoon salt. In reserved 3 tablespoons of goose fat cook the
    onion soft and yellow; stir in 2 tablespoons of the flour, then
    blend in liquid from the giblets. If necessary, add water to make
    1 cup. Stir remaining 2 tablespoons flour into sour cream and then
    blend into gravy; season with remaining salt, or to taste. Put
    goose back in roaster and pour gravy and mushrooms over it. Cover
    roaster and roast for another 2 hours.

    This time of year, we see large flocks of geese (is that a gaggle?) nibbling on the lawns in a variety of places. It looks like one could easily walk up to them and twist the neck. Or at least hit them from
    20 feet with a slingshot or other primitive weapon.

    They are smart enough to know where they are hunted and where they
    are safe (so are deer and a lot of other animals). And many of them
    stop migrating south as soon as they find a body of water that
    doesn't freeze over. More and more they don't fly north in the
    summer either but remain resident all year long.

    Which is why we have so many deer around here. It is an urban area, but
    with a lot of green space around. It is not at all uncommon for use to
    see deer in our front yard, especially when the crab apples drop. No
    hunters and no predators.

    I assume that these are the same geese that fly up towards and
    past you.

    Nope. I'm in the Mississippi flyway and you're in the Atlantic one.

    Are they the same type of geese?

    BTW, I do not think that I have ever eaten goose. If offered on a
    buffet I would try it, but cannot see us attempting to cook a whole
    goose. I have tried duck at a restaurant, but was neither put off nor
    thrilled by it.

    Title: Duck Melissa
    Categories: Duck, French, Bake, Duckbk
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 lb Duck
    1 tb Water
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground cardamom
    1 1/4 ts Ground fenugreek
    1 tb Ground coriander
    -pepper
    1 Inch pc Fresh ginger, grated
    -minced
    -Juice of one lemon
    3 oz Coconut cream
    2 sm Garlic cloves, crushed
    1/4 ts Ground mace
    1 ts Tumeric
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1 1/2 ts Ground cumin
    -Freshly ground black
    1 lg Spanish onion, finely
    2 ts Mild chili sauce

    Cut through the breastbone and open the duck. You will have to break
    the ribs here and there to press the duck flat. Thread a wooden skewer
    through the second wing joint on one side and out through the same
    joint on the other side. Push another skewer through the legs in the
    same way to keep the bird flat.

    Prick the skin all over with a skewer.

    Melt the coconut cream with the water in a small pan over low heat.
    Cool slightly and stir in the garlic, all the dry spices, and then the
    ginger, onion, lemon juice and chili sauce.

    Spread this paste over both sides of the duck and roast skin side down
    on a rack in a roasting pan. Cook in an oven pre-heated to 400 F (200
    C) for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours, basting every 15 minutes or so with the
    pan juices.

    Turn the bird half-way through the cooking time. When the duck is
    cooked, remove as many of the small bones as you can before
    transfering it to a hot serving dish.

    Skim as much of the fat from the surface of the sauce as possible.
    Either pour the sauce over the bird or serve it separately.

    Serves 4. From the files of Earl Shelsby

    I am mildly surprised that you didn't get served (or offered) goose when
    you were stationed in Blighty. Christmas (and other holidays, too) goose
    is a British tradition. Goose is *ALL* dark meat and very oily. When my
    mom and/or my grandmother made the holiday goose there was always a huge
    amount of fat saved-off for "other things" including homeopathic remedies
    for colds and chest congestion.

    Goose fat is more strongly flavoured than chicken fat (schmaltz) but
    just as Kosher.
