Goose Pastrami Irish Egg Rolls Recipe

This Goose Pastrami Irish Egg Rolls Recipe is quick and easy and will soon be your new family favorite. It's one of our favorite St Patrick's Day appetizers.
IRISH EGG ROLLS
If you've ever eaten at an Irish Pub, you've probably seen Irish Egg Rolls on the appetizer menu. Crispy fried egg rolls with corned beef, cabbage, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. I'm a creature of habit, and never pass up a chance to order these mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres before diving into a Reuben sandwich.
Saint Patrick's Day often gets a bad rap with its excessive drinking during pub crawls. But it's not hard to learn how to celebrate St Patrick's Day at home with your kids. My wife and I love celebrating at home with our daughter by inviting other families over for Saint Patrick's Day crafts and some great Irish food like these egg rolls, my Corned Rabbit and Cabbage, Irish Meatloaf, and Corned Rabbit Reuben Sandwich.
You don't have to use goose pastrami to enjoy this egg roll recipe. You can also substitute 8 ounces of any cooked ground venison, pheasant, or duck you might have in your freezer.
CAN YOU EAT CANADIAN GEESE?
First of all, the correct name for these birds is actually Canada Geese not Canadian Geese. I have met many Canada Geese in my day and most of them were actually born here in North Dakota, not in Canada. Therefore, they aren't technically Canadian. Canada Geese born in Canada could be called Canadian Canada Geese, but those born here in the United States would be considered American Canada Geese. But I digress.
The question was, can you eat Canada geese? And the answer is yes! Absolutely! From Goose Pastrami to Fettuccine Alfredo with Goose and Broccoli to a Goose and Pepper Stew, the goose recipe ideas are limitless! If you are looking for ways to use that goose offal, you really should check out my recipe for Chopped Goose Liver.
If you are looking for more duck recipes or goose recipes, you can find lots of them on my Duck & Goose Recipes page.
COME HUNTING IN NORTH DAKOTA
If you would like to come to North Dakota and experience an amazing waterfowl hunt, check out the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website. And if you want me to come along with you as your camp cook, photographer, or butcher, you can find out more details here.
