Roast goose is cooking goose meat using dry heat with hot air enveloping it evenly on all sides. Many varieties of roast goose appear in cuisines around the world, including Cantonese, European, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Roasting can enhance its flavor.

Cantonese

In Guangdong and Hong Kong, roast goose is a variety of siu mei, or roasted meat dishes, within Cantonese cuisine. It is made by roasting geese with seasoning often in a charcoal furnace at high temperature. Roasted geese of high quality have crisp skin with juicy and tender meat. Roast goose are normally served with plum sauce to augment its flavour.^[1]

Results of a 2016 survey released by the municipal government of Guangzhou showed that roast goose was the most popular dish, outranking white cut chicken and roast squab.^[2]

European

Goose has a distinct flavor^[3] which makes it a favorite^[4] European Christmas dish. In Germany, roast goose is a staple for Christmas Day meals.^[5] For European cultures, roast goose is traditionally^[6] eaten only on appointed holidays, including St. Martin's Day.^[7]

It is generally replaced by the turkey in the United States. Similarly, goose is often an alternative to turkey on European Christmas tables.^{[citation needed]}

In the United States, the price per pound of goose is usually similar to that of farmed duck, but the large size of the bird and low yield of meat to bone and fat makes a goose a luxury item for most. An added value is that roasting a goose will render a great deal of excellent quality fat which is typically used for roasting potatoes or as the shortening in pie crust (sweet or savory). One can also simmer pieces of goose submerged in the fat to make confit.^{[citation needed]}^{[clarification needed]}

Roast goose is also a popular ingredient for post-Christmas meals. There are a number of recipes for Boxing Day which make use of left over roast goose from one's Christmas Day banquet.^[8]

Variations

Prevalent stuffings^[9] are apples, sweet chestnuts, prunes and onions. Typical seasonings^[10] include salt and pepper, mugwort, or marjoram. Also used are red cabbage, Klöße, and gravy, which are used to garnish the goose.^{[citation needed]}

Turkish

Kars style roast goose is one of the most famous food products special to Kars region of Turkey.^[11]^[12]^[13]
