would you eat road kill??? this lady does

[4x4]

Regularly eat deer hit by cars, got a freezer full of it, never noticed a funny taste, need to make sure it's dead before freezing it tho!

Personally I think this pregnant woman simply wants to make a bit of cash by selling her story to the press!! Im pregnant and cant imagine why anyone would have a craving for road kill in particular especially as I assume she hadnt eaten it prior?!

I think this road kill thing is more popular than most people think though - I know of a lady in our village who is known to pick up & cook up road kill. Never been round to hers for dinner...

I wouldn't eat it myself, but I'm always on the lookout for a fresh kill as my dogs would love it. Never found one yet though

I'm a vegetarian, thankfully

I've seen a lot of vegetable roadkill - mainly potatoes, but also some turnips and a few cabbage.
I reckon they maybe don't move as fast as the more slimline veg, like carrots and parsnips.

As a train driver, I often hit stuff on the line.

There are a few of my colleagues who will pick off the odd pheasant from the front of the trains and take home to eat!

I've never tried eating road kill,and has no plan of doing it. It may be free meat on the road, but I don't think its safe to eat it, and I just don't like the thought. Consuming roadkill is seen as taboo by many though a number of people do indulge, which makes for interesting controversy. There's even a proposed law in a certain state about eating roadkill. Read from The curious debate over eating roadkill.

I've had a few pheasants and one morning I was out on the pony and found a deer and managed to cart it home and fill the freezer with it.

There is nothing wrong with picking up road kill, as long as your care full and don't end up as road kill yourself.!!!!

I was told it is illegal to pick up your own road kill but if someone else has hit it then it's fine (presumably to stop people mowing down pheasant on purpose!)

We eat lots of game; in Lincolnshire shooting is still big and lots of venison, rabbit, pigeon, pheasant, hare and sometimes squirrel is consumed. Sheds are full of hanging corpses Possibly a bit of a stereotype, but we are never short of game from friends.

Sadly there is plenty of roadkill, too. I've never eaten any yet but if I saw the right kill I certainly would... we happily pluck and dress our own birds anyhow.

Indeed,especially just after the silly things come out of the release pens.Got three in a week like that,just around the corner from the keepers cottage,they tated even more excellent

 

[Centauress]

I have. Saw a pheasant get hit by a car in front of me, went down a bank, I parked and went after it and it had died. So I hung it and ate it.

Dads had the Same...

Quite true!

The hares leap under your wheels around here, too. I end up crawling around the lanes as I have a mounting number of road kill ghosts on my conscience...

... I imagine I'll feel less guilty if I eat them in future... although I'm not sure I fancy fox!

I grew up on road kill.

Funniest was mum coming to get us from school after dashing out to pick up a deer. Forgot to make sure the back of the white car wasn't splattered in blood before stopping outside a school...

I've only had "normal" game, deer, hare, rabbit, pheasant (a couple of whome were still alive, fortunately we know things in my family, so never for very long!)... Really, why would you leave good free range, organic meat to rot?

Round our way, it was usually a race to pick up the deer. On more than one occasion we'd arrive with the 4X4 and the deer would be gone!

oh god no, and definitely would not risk it in pregnancy - this reminds me of Rosemary's Baby!!

Go to a butcher !
