We used to have a goose at Christmas-time. My mother plucked the goose herself as it was cheaper to buy it unplucked. Plenty of meat on it and also my mother could replenish her supply of goose-grease which she used throughout the winter. It might have been horrible but it did the job. Quite a few uses for it, including preserving leather - that's if, of course, you had anything leather to preserve!

Him indoors tells me he used to rub it all over his body before going out to play soccer (he was a goal-keeper) as it kept the rain and the cold from his body.
