Roadkill

Forums:

I suppose it's better than just letting the poor beasts go to waste, but still seems dicey, and an invitation for reckless driving.

The Dickies "Roadkill"

i ran down a rabbit on purpose and ate it once. i just kinda instinctively veered towards the rabbit when it popped out of the bushes and the impact ended up serendipitously eviscerating it without rupturing the stomach or intestines, so most of the cleaning had been done for me. just had to finish the guts off a bit, remove the head, and skin it. did some research into the safety of eating it and i was satisfied, so i invited a couple friends over and cooked it. i roasted the legs over a bed of baby artichokes, potatoes and white grapes in a cast iron pan, and seared off the loins and sliced em up on top of the finished roast. it was pretty good, but easily the best part were the garlicky, oiniony, herby white grapes roasted in rabbit juices. 

Daylight doesn't get enough credit around this place.

I've had roadkill moose in Maine. It was delicious and fed many families.   In the 1990's my friends hit a Moose on their way back from Hempstock in Stark Maine. They contacted a sheriff who let them keep half the moose with the rest going to the nearest local family on the roadkill lottery distribution list.

In before Foghorne.

Oh wow !

I always thought that deer and moose and similars had a musk gland on the backside of their knees (front knees?) that if popped could seriously release toxins into the meat which you would not want to eat. Other than that, the only concern is if the guts have exploded and you have weird bile or juices flowing around freely - wouldn't recommend eating that.

Totally agree. Best overall zoning for my black-screen money.
