Roast Wild Goose (Larded)

Ingredients

• 1 wild goose
• 2 ozs. fat bacon
• Cayenne
• Lemon

Method

1. 1

   Wash the goose well, have the larding needle threaded with very fine strips of bacon fat about three inches long and a quarter of an inch thick, run the needle through the breast, it will draw the fat through with it, keep on until you have used all the bacon fat.

2. 2

   Rub the goose over with flour then squeeze a lemon over it and sprinkle a little cayenne, lay on it a buttered paper and bake in a quick oven.

3. 3

   This may be stuffed the same as a tame goose if preferred.

4. 4

   Serve salad with this also.
