Cook a Goose

As they say in these unexplained situations....just follow the feathers.

Hey, Helper Guy, I was the one who said the TP thread on TOB was hilarious. Your knee is jerking in reaction to one of my posts again.

"Boring and mindless", acheived unconsciously (TOB) is different than acheived here with mild and not so mild machination.
 I'll take the latter.  

Take it the way you like it, friend. There are a few folks on this board who actually put assholes to shame. I'll take calm and relaxed any day.

I'm all for and support anyone who "who can put assholes to shame".

Not the shame I was referring to.

Well....then.. "shame on me"....I feel ashamed that I was trying to remain shameless.  
(somebody top this for "mindless and boring")

No kidding. Sigh.

i am proud to be an asshole and have perfected it.
so below are the hungarian bread dumplings that go with the duck. y made the red cabbage and gravy. she also made the english triffle for dessert.
oh,i made the maple chopping board many years ago as well.
this should give a KNOB lots of ammo-SNORK!

Brigitte...you better run and hide the ducks.  Pedro already has the dumplings made.

holy smokes! $156usd fer a goose? my hutterite geese cost me about 14 bucks and they were about 30 at safeway but more fat there/less meat.
the whole ducks at puritan and wally world are around 20 bucks i think.
the ducks and geese i shot,i don't wanna even think how much they cost-astronomical because normally i couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door if i was settin' on it. my dogs were always mad at me because every time i blew a hole in the sky,nuthin' came down fer them ta retrieve-SNORK!

Did a quick peruse of the online specialty goose purveyors and it appears that the going rate is in the $10 - $12 per pound range. Did find one @ $6.99 and another @$8.00 per pound. Many are already sold out for the holiday season. At least with the organic farm raised free range geese, one doesn't have to be on the lookout for "shot" in the meat! How soon will it be before they start advertising "Kobe" or "Wagyu" geese? I can just see the banners on the exterior walls of Whole Foods or Trader Joes for such!

CG, we have a draw in Oregon, gonna get a XMAS goose.......And I being the great white hunter, will bring home dinner.......and I am one of the 20% that shoots 80% of the birds. LMFAO

Would that be with your bass rod and a giant crankbait?

By the way, when I was a young kid and being introduced to hunting in Japan, we used rented live geese and duck for decoys. Very effective until other hunters shot them on the water and one had to pay the rental outfit for the dead ones!

No that would be with my Ithaca 12 gauge, double vented barrel shotgun

Unfortunately, we're just a little too far away for a visit. But we have fond memories of two visits (one for a month) to the Czech Republic and really enjoyed the food and, of course, the beer-- and just about everything else, too. We are still in touch with some of the people we met there. It all started when we billeted two young Czech hockey players when we lived in BC.

nice piece, I got a Belgian Browning Superposed 20 ga 3" It is my favorite upland shotgun. It stays NOB

i had a beretta 12 guage o/u 3inch mag with interchangeable chokes. before that an ithaca 3 inch side by side bought in the '60's. i used a lee loader fer my own shells fer both.
that beretta was still made in italy but they started making ithaca in japan a long time ago -:(, but it was still a good gun.

   Ive sold Guns for 32 years.... never seen an Ithica say Made In Japan....

Browning makes a lot of their stuff in Japan... The Good Browning Shotguns still hail from Belguim

Ithica 20 ga Over-Under
Remington 870 12 ga Vented Pump

Ithica has faded in and out a couple o times.... today...they are alive and well making special order Shotguns  outta New York & Ohio...

Hocks:

From the SKB Shotgun website:
" Shotguns imported by "Ithaca Gun Company" were manufactured from 1969 to 1978."
These shotguns were apparently stamped with the Ithaca name after import.

k... I stand corrected.... but, still never seen one.... maybe they never made it up to the frozen tundra!

Ithaca has always been synonymous with quality...
damned fools buying all that Italian Shit just didn't seem ta know it
