Goose Jerky

Geese are large, web-footed birds that weigh between 5 and 18 pounds (2,250 and 8,100g). First bred by the Egyptians, domesticated geese were eaten by the ancient Chinese, Indians, and Romans. Geese produce rich, dark, fatty meat, much enjoyed by Scandinavians and Central Europeans, who serve it on holidays.

Goose is a very tasty meat or jerky when prepared properly. The fat content of goose meat today is much lower than the figures quoted in nutritional textbooks. Its fat content is higher than that of turkey and chicken, but it contains a much more wild game flavor.
