I wanted something different this year for Chrismas. Every year we have ham and turkey. Every year. I thought we could still have the ham and a small turkey or turkey breast but I wanted something different. I thought, “Let us have a classic Christmas dinner with goose, just like in the movies” well I have never had goose so what the heck, why not try it? It would be a new experience for Christmas. Something I’m sure the kids would love… the trying something new, not sure if they would love the goose. Any way I went on a wild goose chase.. ha ha. I went to store after store looking for a goose for our Christmas dinner. They are NOT easy to find in my area. I finally found a store that had goose. Great. So I start looking at them and realized they weren’t very big. Happy that I would be having turkey and ham as well. Then I started looking around to find the biggest one. I found it. The perfect one, the goose that I would be cooking for Christmas dinner. I looked at the price and couldn’t drop that bird fast enough. OUCH!!!! I reluctantly picked up a duck that was next to it and looked at the price to see how bad that was. After seeing the $50.01 price tag on the goose seeing the $11 price tag on the duck was much more appealing. I have had duck, it tastes wonderful and I know that my children love it. It’s not something I would normally buy because the price is still a little rich for my blood but for Christmas it is just perfect. So this year after playing duck duck goose with food and prices I will skip the goose and stick with the duck.
