The Geese Are Getting Fat
Today I have an old English Christmas song for you:
„Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat.
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny* will do.
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, God bless you.”
*halfpenny
A roasted goose at Christmas has been a tradition since ancient times.
According to the British Poultry Council, around 250,000 geese are eaten every Christmas across Britain. With the average bird feeding six people, a roast goose might be the perfect choice for your gathering during this festive period.
Having said that, I must confess, I’ve never eaten goose.
Have you?
