Take and scald him well and cut him into pieces, keeping it raw. Cook in its own grease and put in a cup of wine or ale. Mince onions and put it in the pot. Cook it till done and salt it and set it out. You can scald the goose to rid it of some of the fat, generally just pull as much as possible off. Save it in case you were too efficient and there is not enough fat to brown the bird. Cut the bird into serving size pieces and put it in a deep skillet. Have towels nearby to get the flying grease. Brown the bird in its own fat. When nice and brown but noe too far cooked, put in your wine or ale and turn down the heat to a nice simmer. Mince as many onions as you like and drop them in to cook. Let it come back up to a rolling simmer and cook til done. Add salt to taste and set forth.
