Rendering Goose Fat, Fried Cornish Hens & Carrots

Our grocery store sometimes surprises us by having quality products.  One random day I found a goose!  It was a bit pricey, but I was going to get all my money's worth by rendering all it's precious fat.  

I stripped the bird of all the fat I could find and threw it in the crock pot for a couple of hours.  This was our bounty:

We used this and some duck fat to fry up a cornish hen and some carrots.  The hen was awesome and the fried carrots are addictive.  Better than any potato chip I've ever had.  Sweet, crispy, and full of flavor.
