Goose fat
Somebody must know - where does it come from? I know it comes from gooses but it’s not a by-product of goose pies or gooseburgers or whatever. I ask because, although I say so myself I’ve had a delish roast chicken with goose fat roasted spuds and Parmesan crusted parsnips.
Ta. I’m obviously too parochial, I didn’t think it might be Eurofat. I’ll check out the label.Ymx wrote: Sun Jan 03, 2021 8:17 pm http://www.goosefat.co.uk/page/producti ... 20freezing.

I used some on spuds this Christmas on an opened jar that probably dates back a couple of decadesWhat is the Shelf-life of Commercial Goose Fat?
Goose Fat has a long shelf-life usually in excess of 12 months. Once the jar has been opened, like home produced goose fat, it will keep for 2-3 months in the fridge.

that's probably a good way to get rid of all that toilet paper you stockpiled........tabascoboy wrote: Sun Jan 03, 2021 9:18 pmI used some on spuds this Christmas on an opened jar that probably dates back a couple of decadesWhat is the Shelf-life of Commercial Goose Fat?

You should have had a nibble on one of my slightly caramelised Parmesan parsnips last night.Slick wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:09 am I obsesse over roast tatties. I have to say this year, in duck fat, were probably my best.
I’ve been thinking about this for ages. Surely most geese are sold whole to be roasted, whether in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, so how does their fat end up in Tesco’s jars?

When I die, I want HUMBLE carved on the base of my statue.
There is an awful lot of fat in the cavity of the goose which can be pulled out and rendered down. The fat under the skin renders when cooking. Got a very large pyrex bowl full this year. Freezes well but will go stale after about 8 months or so If it actually lasts that long!!Sinkers wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:18 amFrom the ones the Froggies kill for their Foie Gras and goose liver pate?GogLais wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:23 amYou should have had a nibble on one of my slightly caramelised Parmesan parsnips last night.Slick wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:09 am I obsesse over roast tatties.

I was also going to say my stuffing balls were charred at the edges but balls don't have edges.Slick wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:19 amMODS!

most geese are raised for feathers and down. While some will then be sold for consumption, a lot won't be suitable formone reason or anotherGogLais wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:23 amYou should have had a nibble on one of my slightly caramelised Parmesan parsnips last night.Slick wrote: Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:09 am I obsesse over roast tatties.

If your goose is fat rather be on top.
