A shame. Goose prepared properly and kept up out of its grease is superb. Cant comment on goose sausage though. I will wait for others who have tried it.
My experience only, but, that would depend on the goose, and what it spent the last month or two of its life, eating.
Snow geese seem to be universally good to eat. The Canada geese that the early goose season in the metro area of Mpls/St. Paul, is aiming to reduce the population of, have been hanging around municipal soccer fields, golf courses, and containment ponds, and eat whatever weed killer, bug poison, fertilizers and small mollusks that act as filters, living in stagnant water on the above property’s.
The local birds are beyond nasty to eat.
Unless you are hunting in Manitoba, around here, you don’t know what you are going to get. I no longer shoot Canada geese.
Don’t eat them, either.
Goose sausage, made with the right goose, is delicious.
Best,
Ted
