Mårten Goose

Today is the feast for Mårten Goose celebrated in Sweden or at least in the restaurants in the south of Sweden where this is a tradition.

At home we have not celebrated in particular even though we are half Scanes. Each year the The Scane Guild in the region Östergötland has gathered to eat the so called "gåsamiddag" on Frimis restaurant in Linköping. I think mom provided the restaurant with black soup (goose blood soup) for no one can fix it as she can. But unfortunately I have no memory of the soup which is supposed to be very tasty. It is spiced with allspice and raisins.

The courses are
Black soup
goose with read cabbage
applecake with vanilla sauce
