Here is a really old one...

Planked Goose.
Salt and pepper goose. Place on pine plank, roast in slow oven for 2-3 hours. Discard goose, serve plank while still warm. :-D  :-D  :-D

Seriously though, alot of the taste of waterfowl depends on what they are eating. I think geese are best ground up and made into jerkey with one of the new-fangled jerkey shooters.

I cooked one last year using a recipe from Field and Stream.  It may be on their website. It was amazing, if I do say so myself :wink:
I think the secret was to marinate the goose overnight in a brine mixture.  I used one cup salt, one cup pepper, and one cup brown sugar in a bucket that covered the goose.  This kept the moisture in, and I used a meat thermometer, once the inside hit 160 degrees, I took it out.

The only thing that made me mad was that I did not have any more geese in the freezer.

Canadan Goose is the dryest meat there is. I have tried them many ways and find the breast to make execellent jerkey. After 47 years i would not even bring home anything but the breast of the infamous "Sky Carp". We have a very liberial early season on them and jerkey is the only fitting thing their good for. Greasy..... the only thing greasy about a goose is his droppings. They are easy to shoot for sure but don't waste your time trying to make them edible.

I definitely agree with volshooter.  Canada geese are strong in flavor, not unlike liver in strength, somewhat slightly akin to in taste though uniquely different.  In my opinion the best way to reduce that strong flavor is to remove as much blood prior to final preparation as possible.  

When making jerky I use the sliced whole muscle method with http://www.himtnjerky.com/ goose blend adding 1 tsp cajun pepper(divided) per 4 lbs.  To best enable the removal of as much blood as possible I slice the breast with an electric knife"across the grain" 1/4" to 3/8" then put it all in a sink of cold water, lightly pressing and stirring it around, drain the sink and repeat 3 or 4 times.  Then I press as much water out by hand as possible prior to using the jerky seasoning mix per directions.  This will back the strong goose flavor down tremendously.

I have also had good luck doing the same rinsing method as above with 3/4" cross cut breast steaks.  Place them over a bed of glowing charcoal with hickory chunks and put the Weber grill cover on it to keep the flames of the hickory wood chunks out, all vents wide open, searing both sides to medium done.  Put your favorite sauce or seasoning on it, remove. Don't need to cook well done unless you prefer it.  Goose is a red muscle meat and can be prepared like beef not graveyard dead like a chicken.
