Is goose broth better than chicken broth?
Praising autumn goose has two meanings. The first relates to a legend dating back to the 4th century AD and Saint Martin, the patron saint of travelers and beggars. The second is connected to the rearing cycle of these birds. It’s in the fall that geese reach optimal growth, marking the best season for their fatty meat. The abundance of healthy fatty acids, iron, and vitamins (particularly niacin) makes this meat much healthier than chicken. Goose broth, therefore, is more intense, fatty, and rich in health-promoting elements. It’s worth trying—which is why we’re presenting a sample recipe below.
