Thanks Bill but it was never my intention to let the post sink to such trivial pedantry.
Anyway, last time I was in Portugal I well remember the smell of frango on charcoal in the early evening. Must get back to Lisboa one day, I need some medronhos.

I don't know where it went; here it is again.
More poultry info please!!!
Hope nobody will cry fowl here ... but I checked Portuguese and its similar to French: hen rather than goose
goose that laid the golden eggs" 297,000 hits
Goose wins in English by a big margin, and hen wins in French by similar margin
galinha dos ovos de ouro: 3,000,000 references online (hen)
gansa dos ovos de ouro: 36,000 (goose)
