Goose is a bit too fatty.
Depending on how many you need to feed, have you considered duck?
We roast one now and then.

My father used to rave about Worral-Thompson (sp) a tv cook who roasted
a goose directly on the oven shelf, with the fat dripping onto the
potatoes roasting below.

His name has hardly been mentioned in the past 10 years, let alone any
tv appearance. He was caught and admitted shoplifting wine and cheese
from a Tesco supermarket.

I missed that. I was extremely busy with work then and didn't have time
to keep up with all the news from the UK.
Presumably he felt entitled!

How very sad he did that, I liked his gruff and straight cooking.

My lot (8 of them this year) are not keen on Turkey but love chicken so
I cooked 2 x 2kg Creedy Carver dry plucked hens.
Next year I plan on both a 6 month old Cornish Celtic cockerel and a hen
from lyonshill.co.uk or possibly only the hen and a Cote de Boeuf.

I can live without turkey as well. With all the restrictions, I have
just experienced my second xmas without. I usually go to my d-i-l's
parents on xmas eve when they serve their turkey. There would have been
several families there who were not in my cohort, so I didn't go.
I did take a seafood lasagne to share with my son's family on xmas
night. That has been a tradition for many years. Last year I delivered
it but didn't stay.

We too have a tradition which never varies on Christmas Eve. Roast
Honey Glazed Gammon, Cauliflower Cheese and crispy fried potatoes. The
gammon is always served as one of the Christmas lunch meats so cooking
it for dinner the night before lessens the Christmas Day load a little.

Should there be some cauliflower cheese leftover that's another veg for
Christmas Day.
