Goose brats


Recommended Posts

I know I should probably put this in the recipe section...but sharing it here. My family and I love geese . Generally , we grill it over over low heat, smoke it or use a pretty damn good deep fry recipe that we all like. And of course, a big Canada roasted can be terrific. But then a buddy of mine sent this to me on how he uses them to make brats. Enjoy.

 

 

From my pal Tim...

 

My brats are pretty common. I take 15lbs of goose or sometimes duck meat and make sure there is no steel shot in it and grind it up. I then take the LEM Cajun Brat mix (cost $5) and mix that in with the meat along with 4-5lbs of pork fat. I get the butcher to take the 'pork ends' and grind them up for me. Mix that all up and run it through the stuffer into brats.

 

For some reason my brats want to split open if I cook them too hot. I use indirect heat on the grill w wood and charcoal. They also pan fry up real good too with some homemade sourkraut!

Not thick mate: but it shows just how the English language evolves over time, and with all the European 'input' in the States, their language contains loads of words we never use. Fascinating stuff if you are a language geek like me! Like the word faucet, which comes from the old English tap, on a barrel.

 

Those 'brats' sound really good: my local butcher could make them for us.

And I didn't really think about the language nuances when I wrote that. 'Brats' is also what we call ill behaved kids...but 'brats' as in sausage is pronounced with a 'ah ' like br-ah-ts .

Makes sense if you try saying it in an American accent! :laugh::thumbs:
