It is quite true that if they are not properly cooked, eating the brick might be more enjoyable.
Ducks - Yes...but never eaten a Goose
Although tried Goose Liver
Pâté de Foie Gras supposed to be a delicacy...
Somehow didn't go well with me

Herb,
Rocky looks like a fine fellow.I am sure he makes a great companion in the field and at home.
Oggie,
You cracked me up with your recipe. Canada Geese are declared as vermin in UK too and I think there is a year long open season on them. They took over our university, shit everywhere and drive away other birds. Can get aggressive too. They come in like dive bombers.Must be great fun taking them out from the sky.
Shooter usually turns them into burgers.
Best-
Vikram

Thanks Vikram and Xl,
This recipe is widely used to describe to excited new waterfowl hunters the fallacy of expecting tandoori chicken type flavours from Canadian Geese and paradise ducks...both notorious for very gamey flavours ! But I tell you what - Peacocks are also fair game here and by God they taste delicious ! Again very cunning quarry and requires great planning and flushing strategy to bag em.
Cheers ears
Oggie

Love going through your posts herb. Your beautiful guns n rifles and your shikar snaps.
That's a lovely dog you've got. My pathologist friend just bought a Labrador retriever. I was joking with him the other day. Telling him . "As a pathologist you just can't think of anything beyond a lab."
Oggie. That was a funny one. I really didn't know that these birds could be found in your part of the world as well. As the name suggests. They must be from Canada. I saw some in England last year.
As for peacocks. We have quite a few at our farm. They are a pleasure to watch and keep a check on the snake population. They have a typical." Peeyoo Peeyoo " ( drink drink)call and when they call at dusk it's time to pull out our bottles for a drink.
