I was wondering if someone could suggest some side dishes we could try
that would compliment our citrus goose well?

Yorkshire pudding
Cranberry-orange relish
The pickled peaches that Wayne posted earlier today
Green beans with bacon
Herbed potato rolls
Sweet & sour red cabbage

I'm sure I'll think of more just as soon as I hit the "Send" button. :-)

Hi,

For the last few years we have been doing goos for Thanksgiving instead
of turkey with great results. We have settled for a recipe containing
citrus (mainly orange) which gives the goose a wonderful flavor.
However, we have kept the old side dishes from our "turkey years". This
year we would like to make some changes again, so I was wondering if
someone could suggest some side dishes we could try that would
compliment our citrus goose well?

If you didn't do Brussels sprouts before, now's the time. They perfect with
roast goose. Try steamed sprouts with chestnuts and browned butter.

Try sweet potatoes this way... Peel and slice 1/4" thick, then parboil until
not quite tender. Saute in butter with a sprinkling of granulated sugar
until browned and tender.

Carrot sticks glazed with butter, honey, and mustard.

Make a cranberry chutney instead of the usual sauce. Or find some
lignonberry sauce, which is very nice with goose.

Being a Norwegian (who has been living in the US for a while) Brussel
sprouts havs been one of my favorite sides, Interestingly enough my kids
love them too. I will try them serverd the way you suggest. Sounds great.

Again, my Norwegian roots makes me drool when you mention Lingonberries,
or Tyttebaer which is the Norwegian name.

I have been looking up recipes for this but come up with so many different
ones that I do not know which would be the "original" one, if there is
such a thing?

I'm glad that struck a note. The combination does have a very nice taste
and texture.

I love lignonberries and buy either sauce or jam anytime I find it.
