    Green Geese.
    In the early summer, young fattened goslings known as green geese were a popular food.

    thank you, CGS, for the recipe.
    Concerning turkey’s taste: the reason for the insipid turkey is that all the turkey’s in the market come from a single variety that happens to grow fast in an industrial environment. Same that happens with apples, cucumbers, etc.
    I think it was in Tennessee they found lately an original variety from the old days that managed to survive in a remote farm.

    Variety is the spice, one rule or variety is never good, you end up like the Irish , have to leave for better pastures as there be no food.
