It doesn't taste strongly of anything, its advantage is that it reaches the correct temperature and has the right qualities to make your roasties the best and crispest, you've ever eaten. I've never used it to baste a turkey as I push flavoured butter under it's skin to make it self-basting. Hop that helps and that you have a great meal.

I used Goose Fat this year for the first time and it did make a difference to the roast postoes. Much crispier.
Costs a fortune though. £2.10 for a little jar!! Was worth it though.

Always use Goose fat now, managed to buy some Duck fat in "Blooms" garden center on Sunday, at half price. I thought there might be somthing wrong with it but the sell by date is'nt up until 2011, so i'll give that a try.

I use goose fat whenever I make roasties - worth the money for the way they turn out. Sainsburys sell tins of it for £3 which I decant into one of those glass jars with the rubber seal round the lid and the metal catch. I generally get two tins, decant them into the jar, and keep it in the fridge - all I need to do is spoon some out as and when I need it - better value than the really wee jars too.
