In a change from our usual free range chicken, we are having goose this year. Mother scotch woodcock has ordered it from Booths at a cost of £42. My job is thinking up something to do with the leftovers.
That's right: forty-two whole English pounds. Booths, accurately known as "the Waitrose of the North" has a posh xmas catalogue, in which the affluent consumer can order goose, caviar, ribs of beef, smoked salmon, and anything else to aid a luxury food pre-emptive strike against the Joneses. Blinis at dawn.
Inevitably, upstart discount store Aldi has yet again got one over its middle class relatives, by selling whole geese for £15.99. It's there at the bottom, underneath the ladies party tights and CD Rom gift packs.
