Natooke,
I've never heard of this. Is this just a Skåne thing and do you celebrate it?
I have to say that the ingredients of the soup nearly made me bring up my dinner.
But each to their own....

Natooke, I've never heard of this. Is this just a Skåne thing and do you celebrate it? I have to say that the ingredients of the soup nearly made me bring up my dinner. But each to their own.... It does indeed sound like a Skåne custom. We live very close to the boarder of Blekinge/Skåne ... and have never heard of the custom either. Personally I don't enjoy goose or geese (their very nasty  ) Thou when they fly in formation, I have a little twang to be on Prairies in fall. |

Cakes are only as good as what you put in them.

Oh yes, that's as skånskt as Nils Holgersson.
BTW, it's spelled Mårtens gås.......

yep, it's a Skåne thang....the goose is good and you can even accustom yourself to the apple and prune stuffing, but the black soup? IS NASTY. It's flavored like gingerbread, so it tastes like salty gingerbread. One sip was enough for me. ew

So I gather this soup won't be the first course you are serving us for Thanksgiving?  I don't think I've ever eaten goose before. I've had duck once or twice, but never really liked it that much - it was too "gamey" in taste. Give me chicken or turkey anyday! Still, it was interesting to hear about something regional. I'm sure there must be other regional foods (apart from surströmming!) that others might know about. |
