"Thinking of this as an alternative to Turkey this Xmas but have never cooked it before. Anyone had it as a roast and any cooking tips?"
Slow cook in wine and garlic. It can be lovely. |

This, cook it for twice as long on half the heat as you would cook the equivalent weight beef joint. If that makes any sense :/ |

You can do it in a slow cooker as well. And you can do it with beer or even cider. Its a strong taste though when its been hung, and kids don,t always like it.
I'm having it myself, the rest of them are having turkey, but as I'm cooking, I get to choose what gets cooked. The deer was shot last week by my mate and he's bringing it to me nearer to the day. I might even do a rabbit on new years day. |

Ah well with goose you have to allow for that. You have to raise it up out of the pan. |

Perfect sense, thank you. Am torn between cooking very quickly at high heat so it is quite rare, or slower and at low heat as suggested. Decisions decisons.  |
