    Hi, you might want to try Julio's in Shrewsbury. I know I've
    seen duck in there and I think goose. Julio's is on the other
    side of shrewsbury center heading towards Northboro. It's on
    the right, you can't miss it.
    
    Also the Super Stop & Shop next to BJ's in Westboro may have them.

2159.2The Living EarthLEDS::BLODGETTThe fjords are calling me...Wed Dec 20 1989 10:384
    I know at Thanksgiving The Living Earth (corner of Park Ave and
    Chandler St) had all kinds of organically raised poultry and fowl. It
    might be worth it to give them a call.
    
2159.3tried Demoula's?VIA::GLANTZMike, DTN 381-1253Wed Dec 20 1989 12:573
I haven't checked this year, but Demoulas at the Searstown Mall usually has
frozen goose around Xmas time. We've made it before (comes with pop-up timer),
and they're not bad at all.

    While shopping at the Demoulas in Searstown I did see frozen goose for
    sale.  They were in a small freezer near the dairy aisle.

    Before you buy and cook a goose, I would highly recommend reading the
    estimable Dawn Banks' "How to Cook Your Own Goose"...

	Have done already...really hilarious.... 

	However I've been cooking duck for Xmas for the last 7 or 8 years
	(duck a l'orange is one of my specialities) and I just fancied
	moving up in size for once. Has anyone tried cooking a goose
	both boned and whole and can let me know if it's worth boning
	first? I usually bone my ducks, it makes them easier to eat
	serving a half duck per person, the fat drains off more easily,
	and the cooking times can be reduced while still giving a crispy
	skin and still juicy meat.


	(I can still remember the first time I ate roasted goose, a
	medieval banquet in Munich. A large crispy portion, and seconds
	too...8^)}...)

Since you already know how to do it, I think boning the goose is a good
idea, but you'll have to figure out what to stuff the larger bird with
so it holds its shape. Somewhere in this conference, I described a
dinner we did one year, where we boned three birds of different size
and stuffed them inside each other (I think it was a pigeon inside a
duck inside a turkey or something similar). It came out pretty good,
and was very dramatic. Not sure it was worth all the fuss, but it was fun.
