Goose warning

From Professor Robin Jacoby Sir: I urge your readers to ignore Barbara Jackson's advice to eat Canada goose (Let- ters, 10 June). We had one shot for us here in the north Oxfordshire countryside. The culi- nary experience convinced me that you could be prosecuted for allowing your columns to be used to recommend coprophagy.
