Thanks for the response listing the ingredients to Parma’s Prosciutto Jesse, I’ll have to try it since it is free from nitrates.

I posted it below so your readers will see the ingredients also . . .

Pork, salt, pepper, and time: 16 - 18 months. A much drier, more velvety texture than Citterio–though I don’t know that I’ve had their Italian brand.

Okay, so here’s what you do for next Thanksgiving: Roast two geese. That way you’ll have plenty of meat, which will be important because once people find out you’re doing roast goose, they’ll bail on their own families and show up at your house uninvited. Also, you’ll have enough bones to do goose stock! Okay, you might not have *quite* enough bones, but you can probably cheat with a few turkey necks or chicken wings. There’s my two cents…

What, are there other kinds of meat?

When I was in the Navy, on board ship, we were often served mystery meat, and, no, it was not in anyone’s top 3.

Well, there is one more . . . fake meat (for vegetarians).

Oh yeah, in terms of butchers– I can’t speak specifically as to who might have what, but a few suggestions of places to try:

In the strip district there are: Strip District Meats, Anderson Meats, and Jo-Mar’s.

In Lawrenceville: Foster’s Meats.

I’ve been to each of these places at least once but never looking for goose or variety meats, so I can’t say as to what they’ll have for you–but they are all close enough to each other that it would be easy to check out all 4 in one fell swoop–unless you want to go out to Troy’s farm!

I got my goose from Dietrich’s Meats (www.dietrichsmeats.com), right off of I-78 exit 40 (the Kutztown/ Krumsville exit). It’s a place I stop when I’m on my way home from the east, quite too long of a drive from Pittsburgh to just go shopping there; though there are some lovely wineries in the vicinity if you wanted to make a weekend of it. Just make sure you have cash (no checks, no credit cards) and a cooler to store everything in!

Where’d you get the goose? I’d love to give it a try. (I won’t say “shot”)

Shadyside Market on Walnut has wonderful butchers and first-rate meat and poultry.

That’s what I meant when I said it was her birthday . . . the duck was $24, and Big Burrito gave it to her for free with her birthday postcard.

I paid for my burger.

I have lots of nuisance geese on my farm in the spring around our pond, if you wanna come and shank one
