Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/222340/Chef-Johns-Roast-Christmas-Goose/

[@tedsmart5539]

At $108+ I think I will pass.

[@foodwishes]

People, the meat is not red because it's medium rare, it's red because of the smoking process.

[@amcconnell6730]

It's red because goose only has dark meat, no white. :)

[@maurocarballo7979]

Even if It was it doesn't matter since goose is at it's Best when cooked medium rare

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

Seriously!? You had to tell people that.

[@ezrabrooks12]

I was raised by my Grand parents,Grandpa Hunted,was a very large farm, a lot of wildlife.I can remember my Grandmother cooking Goose,Duck,Quail,Pheasant,Venison,Wild Turkey.They seldom went to a Grocery Store unless it was for Canning Supplies or something special,like cheese or Milk,Flour,something like that.They raised cattle/hogs,grew a very large garden every year,canned everything/including meat,they also raised Chickens for Eggs/meat.All GOOD FOOD,THE ONE THING I HAVEN'T HEARD IN YEARS AT THE TABLE IS,WATCH OUT FOR BUCKSHOT,I MIGHT NOT HAVE GOT IT ALL.

[@millsykooksy4863]

ezrabrooks12 that is awesome!

[@Mrbird321]

How difficult is Grandpa hunting? Id imagine its slow game

[@villaverandwhite]

Tip: If you want to leave the fat in the sauce but dont want to see the fat droplets, add 2-3 teaspoons of potato flour and mix really well. this ill help the oil and the water to emulsify.

[@nickyb5827]

I used this recipe years ago and my family is still talking about it. I think that I will use it again this year as a treat! Thanks Chef!!!

[@retirednavy8720]

My family did a lot of goose hunting when I was growing up. Christmas goose was a family tradition. My mother used to make a sauce out of gooseberries to go with it. It was simply delicious.

[@ShawnPlusOne]

My word is there nothing you can't cook. Whenever I search a recipe there you are with your fantastic self and that awesome voice cooking like the pro that you are.I'm obsessed with watching your videos this goose looks so good and I have never tasted one before curious of that flavor.

[@orpheusgrand1037]

I will never Be satisfied with technology until i Can Print food

[@DaRkLoRdZoRc]

+Orpheus Grand 3-D printing. Astronauts have already made pizzas with it. Just give it a few more years to become affordable.

[@someone8323]

LOL your comment made my day :P

[@HassouTobi88]

Why do that? Cooking is awesome. No need to fix what isn't broken.

[@Gobbersmack]

You can print money, and I see black folks on twitter eating that for some reason.

[@yankeemike8699]

Gobbersmack oh, your one of those people. Trying to be subtle enough to backlash at anyone who points it out

[@Saras8889]

Most of his Food shows and presentations really makes my mouth salivating!

[@mryungtalentedDJQ8]

Lol I don't cook none of anything from his videos but yet I be so happy and ready to watch what he cooking next

[@mcfrolas]

I don't comment often, but this video deserves so much! Fantastic!

[@txasgrifflover]

Thank you Chef John. I'm unable to be with my family this year, so just sent them the biggest goose on the website. It looks so good on your video, my stomach is growling. This will help my sis, all she has to do is make your sauce. Merry Christmas!

[@kissiebooashes]

I watched this yesterday morning and ever since then I can't think of anything I'd rather eat than an after holiday sandwhich made out of this leftover roast smoked goose.

[@no2religions]

I never even knew such a product existed! @foodwishes You have significantly added to the quality of my life.

[@RachelDeRosier010894]

The best looking Christmas goose I've seen so far.

[@Mleencihols]

I did purchase the smoked goose for a holiday dinner...Soooooo simple and what a hit. Will definitely do it again...And next time with your sauce....

[@certaintyisabsurd]

That's a fine looking goose. Sauce looks fantastic. I was going to cook a goose for Thanksgiving but was a bit surprised at the 70$ price tag for a frozen raw goose. They are delicious though. If you've never had one, try it.

[@extraordianarynails]

Lol the goose had "goosebumps"

[@drdrowland]

i believe that on a goose, they're just called 'bumps'.

[@caribbeanspice19]

this looks sooo good...it gave me goosebumps. wait...

[@LB-pg3no]

Your voice and expressions are the very best!!! Great to listen to!!! Im hooked!

[@foodwishes]

@Walkintoabar You would.

[@foodwishes]

@Beeguiling Thank you.

[@tonyli9321]

That finished product looks good enough to take a picture and hang on my wall.

[@-Kal-]

Well now I'm officially on a Foodwishes binge. There goes my evening.

[@cabernetguy2000]

Chef John: My German friends and my (then) German GF's parents in Bavaria made a roast goose every Christmas Day, it was a very lovely tradition and delicious. The secret to a non-greasy, juicy, crispy goose is grabbing a fork and pricking the skin (NOT the meat!!) all over and then roasting it (same technique can be used for a crispy duck, by the way). Basting it with the rendered fat as it cooks will make it render more fat and also get nice and crispy! They also served yummy red cabbage (braised with cider, an apple, a slice of old bread, etc) and freshly made and airy potato dumplings (with a crouton in the middle!), and of course, a nice red wine. It was simply amazing. I tried it once here in the States, it was also good...but the goose (which wasn't easy to find and had to to be special-ordered by a high-end supermarket in the NY area) cost like $75....and my American GF said......."Hey, it tastes like a nice duck!"....!!

[@Sablebella]

I totally want to do this this Christmas!! Plum pudding too!

[@fuzzwuzz6541]

This gave me "goose bumps"...

[@brentboy81]

That goose is GORGEOUS!

[@Karaisoke]

I'm going to make this tomorrow! RAWR! Or... Maybe not. But it looks amazing. And I love you.

[@TheDobDan]

I was scrolling through videos, and a saw the snapshot and thought, "i can almost taste that."

[@tiptopluongo]

If you've never been high-fived by your 80 year old aunt, this could be the year! Oh chef John! You're so funny!! How many of us watch to listen to Chef John as much as watching the food he makes??

[@GLue02]

Every year we make whole duck for Christmas, and I've tried Alton Brown's method and I've attempted Julia Child's Canard de pate en croute as well. I know you've done duck a number of times in the past, but I'd love to see your take on whole duck.

[@jesusauditor]

amazing cooking. Thanks from Spain!

[@heidishoshana]

I've watched this video no less than 20 times. I will never ever have a Christmas goose (being Jewish) but this is by far your sexiest video yet.

[@TheRabidPosum]

Thanks for doing my foodwish and request Chef John! Looks awesome!

[@BakaCookie]

Wow, that looks really delicious. @__@ The shiny skin got me drooling.

[@paulcollins5491]

My mom used to roast a goose and a couple of ducks for thanksgiving. This vid brought back memories of my family gathering at the table for a great big meal.

[@russtex]

Wow! That looks fabulous!! Thank you Chef John!

[@Rarrin9378]

One word: Incredible.

[@onyxisacatsname]

I never know I'm hungry until I watch your videos.

[@Aperez-yv1ln]

This looks absolutely delicious.

[@LyndsayWellsTheKitchenWitch]

Fabulous! A very good friend is cooking a goose for the first time this year. I am sending her a link to the video.

[@simon250505]

Wow, looks incredible.

[@elomasami]

I LOVE DUCK...I love it more then chicken actually. I think I might give it a try but I doubt my family would want to see a Goose on the table for thanksgiving. Thanks for the info and help ^_^

[@Chevydude44]

Can't wait until goose season!

[@CarolAnnNapolitano]

I always feed geese, I don't think I could eat one. I love when they fly over my house every morning talking to each other. My dad took one home that they cooked at the bakery while he was working one year.

[@rayoutfansubs]

@foodwishes Canada always win in Hockey!

[@foodwishes]

@9taledbeast I don't use or know Celsius. You can't be bothered to convert it, but want me to use my time to go and convert it for you, and I'm the selfish one?! Classic.

[@giladzxc17]

Searching for a goose pun in the comments is such a wild goose chase

[@foodwishes]

@billyhkc Trust you? A guy named Billy giving Peking Duck advice? I don't think so.

[@maximilianneumann7914]

Jon you dont skim off goosefat T-T its too good~ Id love to take you out into one of my Inns in my hometown here in Germany, youd be surprised what rural german villages serve.

[@rcsutter]

Smoked goose is really good, but your local grocery store probably won't have it. You have to go to a meat market, and it's going to be expensive because the smoking process is rather time and labor intensive. But it's worth it. Of course you can smoke your own if you have a good smoker rig. Although this is an old video Chef John has so many I just now ran across it, and plan to try it soon. It looks better than the way I've made it in the past.

[@GallantxD2]

i was just looking for a goose recipe a few days ago ILY :D

[@TheOkami1113]

Takes away goose fat--adds more butter! LOL

[@bigfatcrazycat4891]

This is a master piece😎😎

[@dannyphehe]

I have made smoked goose, but not the blackberry sauce. BUT! I NEVER removed the (flat?) part of the wing, my dad would have KILLED me if I removed it and used it for sauce. That is his favorite part of every bird. Mine probably taste different, mine is from Croatia, but the taste of goose is amazing.

[@TheMrplayitsafe]

+dannyphehe haha mine too. On chicken and turkey as well.

[@Alisa07l]

My Christmas gonna be lit with this

[@Anarcath]

Chef John, you sound as awesome ten years ago as you do in 2022.

[@foodwishes]

@superchung123 Read the blog!

[@thayt1m]

Holy Moses, that looks awesome.

[@davidogan]

First class video as always Chef John! Thank you.

[@TheRabidPosum]

@DoraNahoj no it's dark brown. But this is cured and smoked. It's the same thing as a ham. Normally white pork is unless it's cured and smoked like this.

[@qwinxtified]

i am going to america just for this! !!

[@drpepper3726]

that looks really good.

[@alansmz]

This year countdown to Christmas will be awesome ^_^

[@shimavitz47]

YOUR GOOSE IS COOKED

[@sandjaiasarfi4506]

Gordon ramsay hah

[@eyewandersfoto]

I'd love to see your take on roasting a non-smoked goose.

[@ArmoredZimpa]

i love the imaginary taste that i got in my mouth right now

[@TheVikusik86]

great!!!!l love it!!!!Hello from Kazakhstan))))

[@foodwishes]

@UseAbuseReuse No sorry, it's winter. You're just gonna have to cowboy up.

[@CologneCarter]

Do you mind shipping over one smoked goose as they aren't available here...?

[@fishguts7730]

CologneCarter I could if you covered purchase and shipping costs

[@riceball23]

Btw Chef John, your Pizza Reheating Video was uploaded on Reddit and Tumblr, so I hope you got a boost of subscribers!

[@sassy2021]

@thelumbahjack Of course! It's a very versatile answer :)

[@eirikastokes9652]

Jesus H. Christ this looks spectacular.

[@theSFgiantsfreak55]

5:03 haha at first I thought Chef John said, "So much easier than eating a raw goose."

[@hwoods01]

anyone else notice that carving technique? awesome

[@yellnutty]

Wow this is just Soooo mouthwatering

[@EpicSoftworks]

Thanks John... you made me drool all over my keyboard... Really... Thanks... Gee... and like not even sharing the goose by sending me one... pfff... SHIT DROOLING AGAIN! aww.. man!

[@IzludeTingel]

Internal temp of anywhere between 135 - 140 is preferred. Remember, this is waterfowl, not your average poultry, no risk of bacteria from undercooking. Duck and Goose is supposed to be like a nice slice of prime rib beef, red and juicy.

[@rcsutter]

Yes sir that is absolutely correct. If you're going to try and overcook it so it's grey, just don't bother to cook duck or goose. Stick with dried out overcooked turkey, it's a lot cheaper.

[@syifamustapakamal]

I had dreams about this

[@shany9988]

Looks so good; ive never had goose. I'm scared to try it. What other meat is it similar in taste to? Anyone know?

[@JoesPlaying]

I love smoked stuff. Whenever I buy ham I always get the smoked one, so much better.

[@foodwishes]

@Mirkul Never! USA! USA! USA!

[@xanonymous3x]

@Mirkul degrees celsius = 5/9(degrees fahrenheit) - 32 so for example 350 degrees fahrenheit = approx. 162 degrees celsius

[@clyderamirez1]

mouth is watering so much from this video!

[@kidringo1257]

Would this be on line with a canada goose?....it seemed small that's why i ask. Smoking....maybe i can get the wife on board with this recipe...looks awesome!

[@Gryerdeili]

I wish my girlfriend would do the same in the bedroom as you do to my mouth, Chef John! You're a living legend! Thank you!!

[@TheVittleVlog]

Looks just amazing!

[@OrvilleParkeronline]

I am going to have to try my hand at cooking one!

[@harveyscottz]

Seems like i can hear now some Christmas songs in my mind :D

[@sherwhine]

Nice... i agree its a good carving technique.

[@playea123]

Anyone know where to find this or any goose in the NE area (preferably near Boston)?

[@killer6468]

LOL'd at the butter part. GREAT VIDEO!

[@foodwishes]

@DejectedDonkey Now that's irony!

[@InuYasha1090824]

All I want for Christmas is a Chef John~

[@ocrap10]

Is there a particular wine you recommend

[@21marspluto]

Looks Amazing!

[@VoreTechz1985]

I went out and bought a stick of butter to make that sauce just so me and Chef John could be friends one day. :)

[@NSarge87]

I didn't see anything on the blog about the smoked goose. Where can I buy one and how much do they cost?

[@chivarange]

YEAH no doubt about it.......this is what i am having 4 christmas dinner !!!
