           For 25 people you'll need 3 or 4 geese of about 14 lbs
each. You'll also need a rather large oven to fit that many.
(Goose does not reheat very well - takes on a strange "old" taste.)
so they all must be cooked at the same time.

           Almost all supermarkets carry them. If yours does not,
ask the butcher to order them for you.

           Procede the same as you would for duck. Most good
cookbooks have detailed instructions.

           YUM YUM YUM. Goose is great. I only make goose when
there aren't too many people to feed, as my oven is too small.
One goose feeds only about 4 people. Save the goose grease to
rub on rye bread with garlic. Supposedly good for colds,(?) but 
who knows. But it tastes great.
