A portion is about 400 kcal, with 33 g of protein, 29 g of fat and no carbs. Goose is a fatty bird, much richer than turkey at 195 a portion.
In the UK it was the Christmas bird before turkey took over, and Dickens put one on the Cratchits' table. The fat that runs off is saved for roast potatoes.
Tips
- 1Leave some of the skin on the plate. That is where much of the fat is.
