Interestingly, A Christmas Carol supposedly inspired the switch from goose to turkey as the chief meat of the Christmas meal, as Scrooge sends a turkey to the Cratchit home for Christmas.
We never had turkey or goose at Christmas here, we usually had something like roulade or beef or porc tenderloin. Later years we would do a meat fondue or gourmet.
In point of fact (I love pulling that phrase out on occasion) the bird delivered to the Cratchits’ home for Christmas was a turkey, so Caulfield is off on this one. As is Jef.

I druther eat goose than turkey… IF the price was right. And that includes the social and interpersonal price.

In my house, Christmas would have to be known as Prime Rib Day.

In various years I’ve had turkey (what I was brought up on), goose, duck, chicken… and one Thanksgiving I shared a pheasant.

Goose is delicious, if well cooked.

Does goose taste different than turkey?
