Sat Aug 08 21:49:24 -0700 2009 279060 FrankieLymon 1 4930445 Zlata Praha in Astoria sometimes has goose. zum stammtisch in glendale during the holidays. as far as chinese roast goose.... might want to try Xiara Unisex or pacificana in sunset park. That is just speculation though. Sun Aug 09 08:12:19 -0700 2009 4929912 168211 Jeffsayyes 2 4930686 i'd steer clear of zlata praha. it's quite terrible. and the goose at koliba isn't much better. best best is to wander the main street area in flushing and see what you can find. Sun Aug 09 10:15:00 -0700 2009 4930445 287644 yussdov 1 4930723 I assume you're looking for the Cantonese style roast goose? In all my years of living in NYC, I've never seen roast goose at a Cantonese restaurant that serves roast meats. It's usually (delicious) roast duck or squab. Let me know if you ever find it. Sun Aug 09 10:32:55 -0700 2009 4929912 140537 sohjyu 2 4930924 Yes Cantonese style. I wonder why it is in every Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong and none in NYC? Sun Aug 09 12:04:01 -0700 2009 4930723 279060 FrankieLymon 3 4931162 I've occasionally seen roast goose hanging alongside the ducks in Flushing...on Main St and on Kissena near the corner of Main.

Sun Aug 09 16:15:02 -0700 2009 4931162 279060 FrankieLymon 5 4931740 It looks like a duck, but its much larger. Sometimes they are split and flattened, but either way they are much larger than the ducks around them. Sun Aug 09 18:18:02 -0700 2009 4931440 135440 EricMM 3 4932658 For some reason goose is very expensive in NY, at least on the retail market. I've often wondered the same thing - what do they do with the geese they get the feet and intestines from? Those appear on menus all the time. Mon Aug 10 07:27:44 -0700 2009 4930924 13709 buttertart 2 4939723 yeah i looked around for it for a while, but could never find it so i gave up...if anyone ever sees a place that serves it on a regular basis id love to get some i think its better than duck Wed Aug 12 09:00:55 -0700 2009 4930723 12298 Lau 3 4947288 I think it's better than duck, too, even though I love a medium rare duck breast. And the (mass of) rendered goose fat from the roasting is so delicious we spread it on bread like butter the next day, when it is creamy. It's a pity that roast goose is so hard to find !

Mon Aug 10 00:41:16 -0700 2009 4929912 15393 bigmackdaddy 2 4933719 thanks. ny noodletown is in my dna Mon Aug 10 12:12:21 -0700 2009 4932222 279060 FrankieLymon 1 4940190 had a conversation on this topic with the guy at ny noodletown. he said the goose in north america and the goose in hong kong are totally different. he said the goose in hong kong is better than the duck, and the duck is much better in north america. Wed Aug 12 11:09:01 -0700 2009 4929912 279060 FrankieLymon 2 4940222 I've eaten them both places, and there's a slight difference - I think they must be slaughtered younger in China, the breasts are smaller and the meat tenderer. They are perhaps grown larger here because the main use is for large meals such as Christmas dinner (although good luck feeding more than 6 people on an average one, not very meaty). In NY at least they are fiendishly expensive at retail - we've paid $8.95/lb or so for a 10-12 pounder, of which around 6 lbs are bones and fat (the fat is great to have around for frying). The duck here is fattier than duck is by and large in China but I believe the main commercial breed - the Pekin - originated there. Wed Aug 12 11:16:47 -0700 2009 4940190 13709 buttertart
