Instructions: Bring the goose to a boil in water with the celery, onion, and bay leaf, and simmer, covered for 1 hour. Discard bay leaf and again simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Drain bird well and cool enough to handle. Mix celery, garlic, and onion salts, ground cloves, and pepper. Rub well into bird inside and out. Loosely stuff with your choice of stuffing, and truss well. Roast at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, or until goose tests done. Make the Brown Gravy.
