On November 11th it will be Martinmas. We do not roast the traditional goose voor the celebration but we bake goose biscuits. It seems to be a traditional dish on this day, but we do prefer a cookie. :)) The mini-monsters don't like roasted goose either, they say geese belong on the farm. The recipe may seem familiar to you, it is our beloved house recipe.
