Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As appetizing as roadkill ordinarily is, I still don't think that I would eat it.
Ever. Surely the 5 second rule
will have long since ceased to apply to the "food" unless you were the one who hit it with your car, which is
not really the most humane way to procure food. There are some people who have a substantially different view, though,
and Arthur Boyt is one of them.
Mr. Boyt eats roadkill. Frequently. In fact, the only time he doesn't eat roadkill is on the occasions when he dines out. He started eating it 50 years ago, collecting it near his home in Cornwall, England, as a way to save money. Now 66 years old, he hopes to publish a roadkill cook book that contains all of his favorite recipes for meats such as badger, hedgehog, rabbit and rat. He has eaten hunting dogs (lurchers), cats, squirrels, foxes, mice, deer and pigeons. A Labrador he once found tasted "just like a nice piece of lamb," though he finds cats to be "a bit bland." His favorite food is a badger sandwich made primarily with head meat.

My brother once ran into a deer with his truck by accident - the deer bounded right in front of him, happens all the time. The dead deer went in the truck and my brother feasted on venison for a month. We taunted him for years with "my brother eats roadkill."
If this guy is a taxidermist one would hope that he knows what he is doing...
