A more-interesting-than-most article about eating roadkill:
Rabbits, badgers and pheasants are my most common finds. Rabbit is actually quite bland. Fox is far tastier; there’s never any fat on it, and it’s subtle, with a lovely texture, firm but soft. It’s much more versatile than beef, and has a salty, mineral taste rather like gammon. Frogs and toads taste like chicken and are great in stir-fries. Rat, which is nice and salty like pork, is good in a stir-fry, too – I’ll throw in celery, onion, peppers and, in autumn, wild mushrooms I’ve collected. Badger is not nice and hedgehog is hideous.
He eats owls, too. I was surprised as I was reading this that we rarely think about meat being poisonous (diseased or spoiled, yes, but not poisonous). You wouldn’t eat a random plant or fungus, but most animals seem to be fair game (excuse the pun). I suppose flight-or-fight is a better way to avoid being eaten than making yourself unpalatable, inedible or poisonous.
