We aren’t new to the question of “What does goose taste like?” in the poultry community, especially when most of the world eats chicken.

Contrary to popular beliefs, goose is popular in different parts of the world.

According to GQ, Roast Goose is a daily dinnertime centerpiece in places such as Turkey, Germany, Hong Kong, China, and parts of France like Alsace.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Seems like a goose was a big deal in Dickens England, and they didn't have turkey.

Tried duck, so so, never had goose.

Vegans flame away

Canada goose is okay. Edible but not great. Best meal you ever had if survival is at stake.

Never tried domestic.

Goose is similar to duck. All dark meat. As duck is my favorite, I enjoy goose as well.

My mother made a roast goose once when I was a kid. She couldn’t believe how much fat it released. It was a big topic. I don’t really remember what the goose tasted like, but as an adult I am very fond of duck.

I’ve never eaten Canadian goose, but I would think it would be kind of gamey tasting.

I have nothing against waterfowl. I think they’re magnificent animals. However their meat is gamey and so rich that I can only eat one bite and then I cannot eat the rest. I’ve tried a number of times and I just can’t stand the meat.

Everyone’s pallet is different but I think that’s why pretty much everyone prefers chicken to duck.

Wild duck, or one of those greasy domestic ducks?

Roast goose is delicious, IF made correctly.

Yes, it's eaten in the UK, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, The Czech Republic, and Germany. It goes well with red cabbage, lentils, roasted or other crispy potatoes dishes, and an orange based, or brown gravy.

All of the meat is dark/like chicken legs/thighs and is a bit like roast duck.

Goose doesn’t taste good to me. Tons of grease and not much edible meat. There is a reason nobody ever launched an “Alberta Fried Goose” chain - though they do have similar restaurants in China. :)
