Turkey or goose?
If gastronomy was the point of the festive celebration, turkey might get to make an appearance on our plates more than once a year. Instead, we sit down to heavily laden Desperate Dan-style servings offering a disparate (and unlikely) combination of dishes that is more akin to the buffet at an all-inclusive resort. You have to ask yourself, therefore, if the subtle textures and flavours of goose would sit in this gastronomic free for all. And the answer, if you are honest, would probably be ‘no’.
