Although Poland is the largest producer of geese in Europe, this meat appears surprisingly rarely on our tables. Goose meat is considered a special, even festive dish, rather than a product of the everyday diet. Why is that? And why is it worth changing this – especially in November, when the feast of St. Martin takes place?
Goose Meat – a Polish treasure we have forgotten
Just a few decades ago, goose meat was a true pride of Polish tables. It was served at homes, inns, and holidays – especially around St. Martin's Day (November 11th). However, over time, along with the development of industrial poultry farming, it began disappearing from everyday menus. Why? Because geese are not suitable for industrial farming – they require space, natural feed, and time to reach the appropriate weight. As a result, their meat is more expensive and harder to obtain than, for example, chicken or turkey.
Goose meat – exceptional but still undervalued
The second reason why we eat goose meat so rarely is its… prestige. Goose meat is associated with festive dishes – elegant, requiring time and skills to prepare. Many people fear they will not manage cooking goose at home, although in reality, it is simpler than it seems.
It is also worth remembering that goose meat is extremely healthy. It contains complete protein, iron, vitamin B12, as well as unsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support the function of the heart and nervous system. This is meat that can be eaten without guilt – of course, as long as it is consumed in moderation.
Goose meat is making a comeback – also in restaurants
Fortunately, in recent years, goose meat has been making a comeback in Polish cuisine. More and more restaurants include it in their autumn menus, and November has become a symbolic month for celebrating this special meat. Find out more about how to spend autumn by the sea 2025!

Why is it worth trying goose right now?
Autumn is the perfect time to reach for goose meat. It is then the most tender, full of natural fats and aromas that perfectly complement seasonal additions – apples, cranberries, pears, or red wine.
Participating in Goose Days at Rosevia Resort & SPA is not only an opportunity to try an exceptional menu but also to discover how diverse and light goose dishes can be. It is a completely different experience than traditional roasted goose – more modern, but respectful of classic flavors.
Goose meat – a tradition returning
Although we still eat it too rarely, goose meat is returning to Polish tables – slowly but steadily. More and more people are realizing that this meat is not only for holidays but also a great alternative to other types of poultry. So if you want to try the best goose – juicy, aromatic, and prepared with the highest quality products – November is the ideal time.
