>I haven't had goose for decades. They are very pricey here. Anyway, roast duck with braised red cabbage, rosti potatoes and other stuff. Our rosti potatoes are different in that they are not browned much. They are good cooked in duck fat. They soak up some of the duck fat they are sauteed in. There is the odd occasion that I will not worry too much about saturated fats.
>I make sure to eat saturated fat every day, but not too much. An egg for sure, a bit of chicken fat in chicken soup etc. I think a little bit may be beneficial.


Having mentioned goose in that post, I kept thinking about it when we
ate turkey and on the drive home mentioned it to my grandson who
pressed me to cook one for them and me His wife and I have to have
a session pre-Xmas deciding how we want to do the big Xmas Party here
in the party room, so it is decided, a meeting and roast goose - I
know it's expensive now but-but-but lol

Do you leave your duck uncovered in the fridge overnight? It really
makes the skin more tasty when cooked.
