[edit] Southern China
In southern China, roast goose is a variety of siu mei, or roasted meat dishes, within Cantonese cuisine. It is made by roasting geese with seasoning in a charcoal furnace at high temperature. Roasted geese of high quality have crisp skin with juicy and tender meat. Slices of roasted goose are generally served with plum sauce.
Roast goose, as served in Hong Kong, is no different from its counterpart in the neighboring Guangdong Province of southern China, but, due to its cost, some Hong Kong restaurants offer roast duck instead.
[edit] European
English & German-speaking people roasted geese traditionally only on appointed holidays. Generally replaced by the turkey in the United Kingdom it is eaten on occasions as is the turkey in the United States. Roasted goose is a favoured Christmas dish as well as commonly eaten on St. Martin's Day.[1] The most prevalent stuffings are apples, sweet chestnuts, prunes and onions. Typical seasonings include salt and pepper, mugwort, or marjoram. Also used are red cabbage, Klöße, and gravy, which are used to garnish the goose. Another version of roast goose is the Alsatian-style with Bratwurst-stuffing and sauerkraut as garnish.
