Frozen goose, What do I do?

one of the biggest things people are forgetting when saying "its fine, my mom/grandma bought them like that at the butcher shop".

well those birds were killed either by beheading, or neck breaking. NOT pellets punching thru the intestines to spread the bacteria in there thru the whole cavity, and possibly the whole goose.

Bingo!! That makes a huge difference.
 
about 10,000 people die every year from food poisoning in the US.
The numbers used to be much higher although they were not tracked well so definitive figures are not available.
"24 hour flu" Absolutely no relationship to the influenza virus. Almost always some sort of food poisoning.
The first month I lived in Taiwan I was sick about every other day until my body got used to the bacteria from food storage like this.
For almost every action you take you are "rolling the dice."
Just b/c your Grandma and Grandpa were able to roll the dice daily and made it through doesn't mean there wasn't a risk or that you won't get sick when your body isn't used to this sort of thing.

All that being said, I would try it.
 
Myself,once I was given a frozen goose in one of my less prosperous periods.maybe I could not afford coffee.

It was a few years old,broken leg protruding from puntured foil.I decide we would save a little money on food for my daughter's pesky cat.I didn't even like the cat.So,with no trace of my inner Galloping Gourmet,I tossed the bird in a pot of water and simmered it a while.No Bay leaf,Garlic,thyme,not even any salt.

darn,the house started smelling good!!

Way it worked out,we got some real good sandwiches and the cat got to pick bones.

Then,I figure road kill deer that is still loose and warm is groceries,and my kid liked it with catsup.

Nothing wrong with making it pet food,cook it.

It would probably work to work it as it thaws,skin it,filet the breasts off,and toss the rest,but,how much is a case of squirting and barfing worth??How truly hungry are you?
Go shoot your own goose!!

I live in the land of Chronic Wasting Disease,and I politely decline such delicacies as the venison salami 3 finger harry's taxdermy and game processing made from a co-worker's deer and maybe 7 other guys deer all in one 100 lb batch.
take care of yourself.
