Was it an organic virgin goose?

Flucking hell!

I'd expect a live one for that money.

Goose is delicious . . it will be worth it 😊 Use some of the fat for roasting the potatoes.

Not that many farms in this country produce them commercially. I bought a frozen one from Hungary at Lidl for £25. We will have it on New Years Day at my mother's.

Yikes! I paid $2.49 a pound for a fresh, unfrozen turkey (on sale) and I thought I was getting robbed... did the butcher wear a mask?

I ended up with Aberdeen Angus topside as I couldn't get rib roast.

That's just ridiculous lol there's nothing about a goose that warrants that price. I definitely wouldn't pay that for any bird

@V00doo Local Butcher in Norfolk UK.
His stuff is always good because he sources from family that supply him.

@Picklebobble2 Ah, bet it'll be tasty then 😌

My dad used to rely on a Butcher in Mayfair - hidden away kinda place. Was less expensive than you'd think and the quality was 🔥

@V00doo We've had an awful year.
Cock-ups galore with supplies and costs and nothing seems to be working properly.
So I just said let's have what we want and enjoy it this Christmas.
My Mother will just love it.
Reminds her of her youth, goose at Christmas.

@iamonfire696 A lot of retailers are saying the months leading up to winter saw huge rises in gas/electricity/feed and fuel pricing which is why prices this Christmas are over the top.
No comfort for pensioners or those on limited incomes though.
