More About Poultry
Dear Aunt Daisy, : On looking through The Listener dated February 22 I noticed the letter of V.B., Christchurch, about sending poultry by post. Last June I cooked a goose and posted just as an ordinary parcel to my son, a boy-entrant in the Air Force at Woodbourne, Blenheim. ‘Just after posting the goose I received a letter telling me he was leaving for Ohakea for about 10 days, before the goose had time to reach him. I rang his Commanding Officer and told him the story. He kindly collected the parcel and took it to Ohakea with him, finally delivering it to my boy. The goose was cooked on Tuesday, posted Wednesday and eventually delivered at Ohakea on the following Monday. The only thing I heard was that it was good, and much appreciated by the boys. This, I must point out, was in winter. I really think N.B. should’ have no worry but, if so, why not send it air mail? I did this once with an uncooked goose to Gisborne. I took the precaution of having it put in a freezer for 24 hours before posting, as it would take over 24 hours to reach its destination. This was during very hot weather at Christmas but it travelled beautifully and was just nicely thawed out on delivery.~-M.G.C., Ranfurley.
