[Sca-cooks] The Feast of St. Martin

[Rosine]

   You know why Goose was served? The legend is that Martin was hiding from
some non-Catholics who he'd angered by trying to convert them and was safe
until a bunch of geese (they really were used as watch animals) caught on to
the stranger hiding near them, so started honking. He had to beat feet for
another hidey-hole.
   So as an ironic twist, goose started being served on his feast day so
he'd "get the last laugh".
