nwhikerAFAIK I'm doing Thanksgiving this year (siamese1 wanna come?) and since it's still early enough and Thanksgiving is late enough (Novmeber 28th!), I was thinking about a goose rather than turkey.
Heck, I can do both, with the goose in one oven inside and a turkey on the smoker outside.
The problem becomes... the local grocery store where I used to get the occasional goose has long since closed. Then the farm I got a turkey from one year, and that raised geese closed, so now I'm unsure where to get one.
For the record, for turkeys? I've gone cheap. I've gone ridiculous expensive. I've listened to feedback. When it all boils down it, people prefer Butterball. Or at least my family of Philistines do!
Anyhow, I suppose I can go to Whole Foods, but ugh.
BTW, when I search online? I get more places where I can adopt a rescue goose than where I can buy one for eating. LOL.
Anyhow, I had a hard time with this type of thing. I just want to be able to go to a butcher's or a supermarket and buy a damn bird. I do not want to chat with farmers are the Farmer's Market. I do not want to "form a relationship" with a grower so I can come pick up a special bird in November. I've had this type of issue when trying to buy grass fed beef or other slightly more sustainable products. It all seems to boil down to knowing your producer and quite frankly, I just want the freaking product.
I am the person who loves self checkouts and the automated ordering boards at McDs.
