For Christmas this year, we wanted to go Full Dickens. And so it was

that we ordered a goose from Citerella. A goose! '...the rarest

of all birds; a feathered phenomenon, to which a black swan was

a matter of course', as Dickens himself describes it. The line

to get into Citerella stretched down the block on Christmas Eve.

Poulterers in white aprons served coffee and pastry as we waited together.
