How many of you knew Geese taste like...

I've never had domestic goose, but wild goose can taste like beef if cooked medium-rare to medium. Or, like duck as well, liver if over cooked. Duck and goose breast if marinated and cooked on the grill can taste very much like a good beef steak.

Why does everything taste like chicken? That seems humiliating to the chickens, and wild goose has reminded me of eating rubber before. Best I have found to cook it is stir fry or chunks with gravy and onions. Always nice with a cold one to

But it will depends on the area they come/came from and what their diet is. Resident geese near corn and wheat fields will have a much lighter flavor and meat I've noticed while hunting them here.

Agreed. I've never had domestic goose, but wild Canada goose tastes like a pot roast to me.

It really may depend on what breed of goose. For example I talked to an old man one time who was an avid goose hunter, and I asked him about what a snow goose tastes like, he said you have to cook it right, by boiling it in a pot, using very good seasoning, cooking to perfection. Then he said the last step is to "throw out the goose and eat the pot" and I did believe him. So I never tried snow goose. I did kill a canadian goose while duck hunting several years ago. To me it had a strong game taste and was low in fat content so was dry. I baked it like a turkey. I didn't like it and I promise I'm not picky at ALL I'm actually a very adventurous eater. Since the goose I tried wasn't good I haven't tried any since.

But I'm sure farm raised geese would taste much better, higher fat content and breeds that have probably been bred for eating.

Examples of unusual thing I have tried.
1. Sea urchin
2. Octopus
3. Rattle Snake
4. Chicken parts that aren't normally eaten
5. Sea Cucumber
6. Elk
7. Dozens of duck breeds
8. Deer, quail, wild turkey, raccoon, squirrel, wild rabbit.
9. Grass carp, drum fish, buffalo fish, eel, whole dried fish chips.
10. Grass hoppers.
11. Frog legs
12. Alligator
13. Turtle
14. White tail deer, buffalo.
15. Wild boar
I'm sure I'm forgetting several things lol...
