Wild goose.—The wild goose, or grey lag, is still seen occasionally, and is by no means to be despised. If quite young it may be roasted like an ordinary goose, or it may be cooked like the swan, in paste, but stuffed with the following: mince finely together 1lb. of beef suet freed from string, etc., two shallots, a handful of parsley, a little thyme, sweet basil, and marjoram; to this add a pound of breadcrumbs, ½lb. of butter, two whole eggs, and a good seasoning of pepper, salt and grated nutmeg; knead well together and use. A wild goose thus prepared takes about three hours, should be frothed up at the last with butter and flour, and be served with braised onions, and Poivrade sauce.
