These burgers are bun-derful

THE WONDERFUL thing about making geese into hamburgers is that it takes all of the fear and complication out of cooking goose. There’s no all-day odyssey of basting a giant roast in the oven. This is as simple as one’s goose can possibly be cooked. Julia Child would be furious. INGREDIENTS: ONE WHOLE WILD GIANT CANADA GOOSE TWO LARGE EGGS 12 WILD ONION BULBS 1/2 TSP SALT 1/2 TSP PEPPER EIGHT BURGER BUNS First you must kill, gut and pluck a giant Canada goose. If this is not possible, two breasts of a domestic goose can be used as a substitute. Slice all of the meat and fat from the goose. Run all of this material through a meat grinder. Flatten and mince the wild onion bulbs and mix the onion and eggs in with the ground meat. Shape into patties and cook on either a charcoal grill or in a broiler. Serve rare in the bun with your choice of traditional toppings. - Jackson Landers, the author of “Eating Aliens: One Man’s Adventures Hunting Invasive Animal Species”
