Roast goose, called “ciucio” in the local dialect, is a tasty and delicious dish as by poking its skin with a knife the oven heat allows rendering fat to trickle out and make meat softer and tastier. Notwithstanding long cooking times, roast goose is easy to make and if you have a wood-fired oven the result will be even more surprising.
