Eating roadkill
Arthur Boyt is an animal lover from Cornwall. And he is not a man who likes to waste things. For many years he has collected roadkill – and eaten it….
His freezer is stuffed full of pheasants, deer and foxes that he’s found killed on the roads near his home. With a degree in biology, Arthur is able to identify fresh meat from a diseased carcass, and cooks it at a high temperature for a long time to make sure it’s safe to eat. And the good news is that he’s writing a recipe book so you can all do the same. Yummy…
Ever made a tasty treat out of a squashed something you've found on the road? Let us know here. Is there anything you won't eat?
Hi fi & colleagues!
Some years ago Hugh F-W did a TV Dinners prog in a tipi which featured ragu of roadkill.
A Godson had been living on scavenged meat for more than a year, and as it happenned to be in our woods, I managed a taste, and it was delicious. We have occasionally feasted on hare and pheasant, though I must admit to passing up on rabbit (too much, too often long ago) and hedgehog (not that adventurous).
This may be of interest to enthusiasts, complete with , or you could visit an .
And there are plenty of more conventional refreshments on the virtual beach.
Happy eating!

Complain about this postOne of the commonest roadkills, hedgehog, is something I have relished at least twice.
They were ...given a lift by the roadside, saved from accidental death by my platoon, fattened for a week [I fed him grapes] then ...cooked similarly to a rabbit fricasse.
The 'tenderising' process of running them over and/or letting them 'hang' until they are 'high' can be safely omitted as unnecessary.
