Cook a Goose

Does anybody know where I can get my goose cooked in Jalisco?

gm

And your definition of goose?

I don't know but my grandmother would. As a kid, she said to me a lot "Boy, your goose is cooked now"

Now that I'm thru being a wisea$$.....

Cooking a goose is very different from a turkey. There is plenty of info on the web.

I had a Canadian goose that was eating up my garden so I decided to kill and eat it. Cooked it like a turkey and it was a disaster.

Google "roast goose" and all the info is there.

I've never heard of anyone here roasting a goose. If you give it to someone doing turkeys, I think you will not be happy

Have only cooked an actual goose once on a rack in a roasting pan and I only remember all of the fat in the bottom of the pan. It may have tasted OK but cannot say I remember. Plenty of cooking advice on the Internet.

i did a hutterite free range goose every xmas until we moved here because i couldn't find one so i do 2 ducks now. you roast them. of course i also did "canada"[not canadian-because there ain't no such animal]goose after the hunt, snow geese,you roast but a whole difernt way because you hafta skin them. i will post the methods if there is interest. it's quite simple actually. i have also smoked wild ducks and geese. never roast an old squaw duck even fer yer dog.-blecccch!

Pedro, Is there anything     you haven't done?

Yep...his goose is cooked.

The traditional French Christmas dinner is roast goose.

Do the hutterite geese fly south in the winter or do they have to take a horse and buggy.........????? Jajaja.

and in czech republic.when we were still there my brother and i used to fight over who would get the head for the delicious brains-yum!
and bob-yer thinking of orthodox mennonites or amish[horse and buggy]. the hutterites have some of the best most modern farms on the prairies. duck is their traditional sunday dinner by the way.

Those look pretty darn good.

Not cold enough in Mexico for raising ducks and geese on a commercial basis (I was told). The wild ones, which used to winter on the Lake in the tens of thousands, were wiped out by habit loss and the Senor Elemero Fudd family in the early 1900's.

Since the OP opened all of Jalisco, and ducks are now on the table, there is/was a decent purveyor of Chinese Peking Duck in Puerto Vallarta. (was? 125 restaurants have closed there in the past couple of years).

Consider quails - very popular in Mexico, still stocked, hunted (by Elmero Fudd IV) and raised commercially. Their eggs are widely available as well. Here is a Rick Bayless recipe http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/smoky-peanut-mole-with-grilled-quail I am sure there Cornish Game Hens about as well.

the reason they are not raised on a commercial basis is more than likely the wonders of the beasts have not caught on here. there is nothing wrong with the climate in MANY[most] parts of mexico for raising these fowl. so who told you this malarky-eh!

A professional Mexican butcher and purveyor of gourmet meats. Also Puritan Poultry cannot get them, they are asked all the time.

you are looking at 2 roast ducks from puritan imported from wisconsin[maple leaf] and i suggest to you that a market for ducks and geese has not been established here. i was told there is a seller of goose in guadalajara and peking duck is not a species but a method of cooking. wally world sells the maple leaf ducks from time to time and i have one in the freezer right now

just go to a Chinese restaurant, or better eat tacos

Yep - Wisconsin is cold enough for ducks. They fly in a lot of gourmet and exotic meats from the U.S.A.(and the world) - premium cuts of sweet grass fed beef, heritage pork, wild salmon - but you are going to pay, and the small population of Lakeside cannot support anything in that market. Puerto Vallarta can, and does. People regularly pay $45 US for a steak dinner featuring sterling silver beef from Chicago.

Figure it out- Mexico has enough problems raising chickens, eggs and pork, controlling disease, infections and treating manure/wastes. It is cheaper/easier to raise in a chilled environment and then heat the areas which need to be heated. Also corn silo feed is subsidized in the U.S.A. - in Mexico it is imported.

Commercial, domesticated ducks and geese, sold in the US, are rasied in climates where the summers are more hot and humid than Mexico. In the winter they have to have protective sheltering.
Wild, migratory fowl are more hardy, but still head to warmer weather in the winter.
Domestic ducks and geese would love the climate here....just like Canadians.

But can they buy cheap booze and cigs?

Duckin rights they would...........jaja.

i'm afraid some misinformation was spread about Hutterite ducks.They are allowed to fly,they just can,t use motors.

I think the drunk duck thing was discussed on another thread.
I doubt if the Aflac duck would work for Mexican (duck) wages.
