English and German markets receive
much poultry and eggs from the Bal

war were especially felt at Christmas
time, when both markets were short
ou turkeys, geese and eggs, and un
heard of prices ruled.
There is a prejudice held by some
people against goose as an article of
diet. Some object to picking them,
others to the fat. An old, fat, strong
goose Isn't an epicurean delight, and If
a man gets his first taste from a
greasy antique it doesn't taste for
more, but if it's a smooth, milk fatted,
tender green gosling that's certainly
toothsome, delicious goose of anoth
er color.
