Re: What is mock goose?
As we have just had the annual Goose Fair a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering whether there could be connection with that and Mock Goose - perhaps it was something that was served at the fair (just like the traditional hotdogs and all that these days) during the early part of the 20th century? It makes me think that there is an obvious connection there regarding goose.
I have to add that I always went home at lunchtime and never stayed for school dinners, and so I don't know whether my school had that on the menu.
Telling it almost exactly like it was so many years later - and proud of doing so!
