- Roasting a Goose
Christmas and roast goose are frequently paired together. In Victorian England, the goose for Christmas dinner was a tradition for some. The goose has many religious ties and the Christian celebration of Christmas is just one of many. Charles Dickens wrote In a Christmas Carol that in the Cratchit family you might have thought a goose the rarest of all birds; a feathered phenomenon, to which a black swan was a matter of course. But Scrooge sent a young boy to the Poulterer’s to fetch the big prize turkey for the Cratchit’s Christmas dinner. The goose is roasting attached to my bottle jack in the hearth.
