Filed under “poor babies”: recent mass killings to stem the rising tide of bird flu occurrences in Europe has left Britons with a shortage of goose fat, and now they can’t roast potatoes like the TV people do.
A few years ago, you couldn’t give goose fat away, probably because, well, it was goose fat. Now, after a few celebrity knobs chefs used it on TV, it’s all the rage. Of course, there’s a supply problem now, what with the mass killings of geese due to bird flu, which is different than the mass killings of geese to prevent people from having to cook something interesting instead of a big hunk of dead animal.
You’d think that this would be a good opportunity to promote healthy eating, especially as the holidays approach, but “experts” are instead advising that duck fat will do in a pinch. At least until the farms get concentrated enough for bird flu to be a problem there as well.
