Although geese had been known in Britain for a long time, they were not among the most commonly prepared dishes. An analysis of the early cookery books that were published up to the seventeenth century leads to the conclusion that goose was not a common meat recommended for cooking. The paper presents a selection of goose recipes from various periods.
