Default What can you do with a light/ snow goose?

Me and my pal are jonseing for some hunting and we are thinking of going afte some snows. I wont hunt anything unless I am gonna eat it but I aint never ate any of these critters! So, do they taste ok? Can you make sausage out of em? Hows about frying them? Any ideas at all! Thanks, EJ

PS, I like peking duck, and roasted duck breast. I am not picky, we live on deer meat and pheasant when we can get it

Depends on your tastes i know guys who like snows like any other goose, fried, sauteed, etc...I just ain't one of them! I would suggest trying a meal then you'll know. You could cut it in thinner portions of meat, sautee in some onions/mushrooms then pour in some mushroom soup to let it simmer and serve with rice. I do this with duck and geese all the time and makes a nice meal. I have also soaked duck breasts in milk overnight in the fridge to remove some of the blood, it also does help in removing the gamey flavour for picky palates. Another iscut into strips (like riblets or small shicken fingers), shake n bake andfry. Not fancy but it tastes pretty good.

If this doesn't turn your crank we always did ours into sausage or ground jerky. It's just fine. If you have a dehydrator and way to grind, I'd suggest trying your own at home first in a small batch. Ihave used the hi-mountain jerky spice and cure, it is pretty good stuff and easy. I mix 1/3 inferno and 2/3 hickory when doing a batch, gives a little zing to it and goes down nice with a few "POPS". We also do this with deer grind for jerky but go with regular and inferno as I do it all in my smoker now, so no need to add the hickory smoke flavour!

The sausage can be made just like your venision and tastes pretty close.

Only way is to try and at worst if you hate it probably can donate it to the soup kitchen they always have mouths to feed.

Good luck.

Pot roasting is good. They are also good in gumbo.

i like to take the breasts and slice them in 1/4" strips, lay it on a 1/2 slice of bacon, roll and hold together with toothpick. Place on cookie sheet an put in 325 degree oven for about 45 mins. Great right out of the oven or while watching TV. mmmmmm good
