Smithy's Magpie Goose Stew
Degree of difficulty:
Preparation time:
Ingredients
2 x magpie geese
Soy Sauce
Vinegar
1 Onion
2 Potatoes
2 Garlic cloves
2 knobs of Fresh Ginger
Method
- Cut up as much meat as possible
- Cut up geese into cubes and marinate it in soy sauce and vinegar for the minimum of two hours. (Magpie geese are tough and this helps tenderize the meat). Save the carcasses..
- In camp oven throw in diced onion and potato, garlic, ginger and a cupful of water
- Toss in marinated geese pieces
Cook on fire until meat and potatoes are cooked threw - While stew is simmering and cooking. Place the two geese carcasses on a grill on the fire. These will cook before the stew and are a good snack when all crisp and crunchy
- Serve with boiled rice

Is a magpie goose a female magpie or a type of goose?
Can we eat magpies? Do they taste nice to cook?

Moderator: The Magpie Goose is an endangered species that was found in temperate wetlands along Australian coastal areas. It is now found mainly around Cape York and the Top End. It is a native geese, not a Magpie and derives its name from its black and white feathers. Traditional land owners are allowed to hunt and eat Magpie Geese as long as they have a permit. I have been informed that they are delicious.
