Marlow & Daughters—the butcher sibling of the Williamsburg meat-focused diner Marlow & Sons—isn't open yet (next Wednesday is the goal), but they will be taking pre-orders for Christmas geese once they are. Yes, you can make Dickens proud, according to Brooklyn Based, though it will probably run you more than seven shillings.
In a text message exchange with Brooklyn Based, head butcher Tom Mylan described himself as a particular animal we hope he's not butchering: “I'm going to be a busy little meat beaver."

Actually, I hate to tell ya, but the goose wouldn't make Dickens proud; the bird that he orders up for the Cratchits' Christmas feast is a turkey -- specifically, an enormous turkey, as big as the urchin he hires to fetch it. Goose had previously been the bird of choice on England's Christmas tables, but "A Christmas Carol" was so influential that turkey supplanted it pretty much entirely. In fact, According to a recent piece in the New York Times, England's goose industry tanked as a result. And today, if you look at the food sections in various UK newspapers, they're full of discussions about the upcoming Christmas feast, and they all assume that turkey is the traditional centerpiece.
