Framed Print of A Michaelmas Goose Fair, 1873. Creator: Joseph Swain
A Michaelmas Goose Fair, 1873. That the goose is a Michaelmas bird we should be the last to deny; we remember certain birthdays. The reason is obvious in the fattening goose-pasture of the stubble corn-fields, into which the jolly bird is admitted when harvest is reaped and gleaned. For an epicure's delicate feast in July, there is such a thing as the green goose, analogous to the sucking-pig, or to infant lamb or veal. The gosling, four months old, has been nourished for that purpose on oatmeal-porridge or pea-porridge mixed with buttermilk. This is one of the delicious things for the sake of which a refined voluptuary consents still to live. But the adult goose is very good, when given by Nature in due season, whether eaten at Michaelmas or Christmas. Buyers or sellers of this excellent creature at the Michaelmas Fair have no cause to be ashamed of their business there in the lively scene that appears in our Illustration'.
