Arthur Boyt eats animals killed by cars. He stews badgers with the head on, and he loves the taste of labrador. He'll even eat carrion several weeks old. Once you've picked the maggots off and cooked it, the meat tastes really good, says the British pensioner.
Cats, foxes, badgers, mice or dogs, killed and mangled by tires and left to rot by the side of the road. Most people simply drive past and feel disgust with perhaps a tinge of sorrow. But Arthur Boyt scrapes them up and has them for dinner.
Roadkill eaters devour whatever they find. Boyt, 74, a retired researcher, collects the furry accident victims and takes them to his remote house in the beautiful county of Cornwall in southwestern England, the AFP reports.

"I've eaten stuff which is dark green and stinks -- it does appear that if you cook it well, its rottenness does not hinder one's enjoyment of the animal," Boyt told the AFP. "It's not in the taste of the food; it's in the head. It's a threshold you have to step over if you're going to eat this kind of stuff. You say 'OK, this is just meat.'"

Cook Badgers with the Head On
Here's his recipe for badger stew: Leave head on, coat with flour and herbs, and braise for five hours.
The retired researcher's favorite dish is dog, which he says tastes a bit like lamb. He has eaten two lurchers and a labrador that had been hit by cars. He insists he tried to find the owners before eating them. But, after failing to do so, he washed them down with red wine.

Har!
I was just looking at the ‘please save our pets” fire/emergency window stickers.
They have DOG CAT OTHER check boxes.
I bet if I filled out what the “OTHERS” were, they wouldn’t come in.
A long time ago, when I lived and worked in Idaho, one night on the way to work there was a traffic back up on highway 95. It seems that a semi had whacked a moose. When I was able to finally drive by, I saw the huge critter. It was still alive, though laying down. Found out later that the meat ended up at the county jail. They feed ‘em roadkill all the time, I was told. Moose, elk and venison is pretty darned good stuff. Glad to see that it doesn’t go to waste.
The rotten stuff this guy is talking about is just plain gross though.
Put down “rats.” It’s not a lie, they just have...unique containers.
*shrug* British cooking.
lol...
Oh yuck...indeed.
Oooohhhh...I just got that.
:D
