a/t the german website , gooselard is as good for you as olive-oil !
so it not only tastes good, it's good for you !
(to be followed by an ice-cold vodka , to aid the digestive system !)

haven't found it here in canada either.
probably in some european delis in toronto.
goose used to be our traditional christmas meal when we came to canada and mrs h would always make a small crock of gooselard . it's particularly good for frying potatoes - taste and smell ... mmmm !
we used to buy a 'grass goose' from the mennonite farmers (they were not overly fat and greasy , the goose, that is !).
now they all come from commercial 'factories' - simply too fat - so we don't buy them any more . hbg

hbg - the goose should be basted with clear water as it cooks - that draws out the fat. (from my ex-mother-in-law from Vienna)

here is a typical new-year's meal :
from the left : smoked pork loin, smoked sausages and smoked 'pork jowl' with kale , whole roasted potatoes and a pils - a nice shotglas of a 'digestive' would be well tolerated after such a meal . hbg

what are those german sausages I had once where I poked it and the insides spurted all over the table? Well, I didn't eat them, I was grossed out, but I did order the damn things.
That's my next contribution to this thread... whatever they're called.
