I've just had a look at on line at Lidl's Offers, from this Thursday they've got whole Guinea Fowl and Duck as well as Goose and Turkey Crowns. They've also got Ostrich steaks, Partridge, Quail, Turkey & Gammon joint and Four Bird Roasts all ideal for entertaining and Christmas, I've attached the link to their leaflet
The goose is a good price but it is frozen. Goose shouldn't need to be frozen. It is a seasonal bird unlike anything else we eat these days. They should be reared throughout the year naturally when they will then be ready for Christmas. Its why they're the traditional Christmas bird really. No bloody good to eat any earlier in the year.
If its frozen and available now. Hmmm. Is it bred overseas, culled too early or has it been in someone's freezer for a year. Goose is one of the few meats that defies the commercial world. Its expensive fresh for a very good reason.
I know not everyone wants goose or would pay for if even if they did want it but for me its a fresh goose or nowt.
