I went biking the other day through Washington Park here in Denver, and even in November the place is filled with geese. They evidently recognize the good life when they see it, and now stick around year round. Although starting in Victorian times turkey became the traditional Christmas meal, before then it was the Christmas goose. There were even "Goose Clubs" that were formed to allow working class people to buy a goose for the holiday over time. No need for that here in Denver. You can just head over to Washington Park right before the holiday, pick one out, ring its neck, pluck a few feathers, and you've got a meal ready for the oven. This truly is the land of milk and honey. Bon appetit!
