Goodman’s geese

I was looking forward to meeting Judy Goodman, who had promised us lunch, but we were running very late, as I had somewhat misjudged the time. The girls and I were starving after a three-hour trek across country and up the M5 from Sturminster Newton in North Dorset. Luckily, Judy had prepared cold roast goose with apple sauce and local organic salad leaves. Just the job. We even got some Worcester raspberries for pud that Judy had frozen at the end of the season and just lightly defrosted on the Aga and dusted with caster sugar. They were delicious, and a great alternative to them fresh or cooked into a compote.
