A controversial issue.?

Question

do u think we shud cook and eat the roadkill on the roads cos they look gross and can b put to good use unless they're already splatted and all mashed up, or do you think the carcasses wud b too fumey?

Answer 1

The problem with consuming roadkill is knowing the state of the animal prior to being hit by the vehicle.  Many of these animals are hit because of disease (being infected with a flu makes you less aware of your environment, the same goes for animals).  If this meat is consumed, then the potential spread of many diseases would be greatly increased.

BTW, the bigger issue, the writing skills displayed are atrocious, which makes answering your question quite difficult.

Answer 2

what are you chatting about? there's nothing controversial about it? Why would you want to eat roadkill you sick individual!!!!!!!!!!! get a grip

Answer 3

not too controversial. meat is meat.

Answer 4

never seen road kill so i cant tell you

Answer 5

i have had deer, pheasant, hare and rabbit all delish and healthy, the trick is to only eat fresh roadkill i.e. what you or the car in front have hit or is still warm or still rigid. deer need gutting within a couple of hours of death or they bloat and the gut splits tainting the meat.

you can tell if a rabbit is mixy, just look at their eyes. i dont think it matters if they are anyway, only rabbits catch it.

Baked Roadkill Squirrel

Roadkill Squirrels are tough. If they weighed 50 pounds, you'd need to hunt them with an elephant gun. Fry them like chicken, and you might as well gnaw on your hunting boots.

If you must fry them - and I love fried roadkill squirrel, gravy, and biscuits - you'll do well to parboil even the youngest roadkill squirrel for 20 minutes or so before flouring it. Even then, it's awfully easy to overcook those delectable forelegs.

If you're just getting into roadkill squirrel or you've come onto possession of a mess of squirrels and have no idea how to prepare them, here's a nearly fail-safe recipe. If you've had bad experiences with tough roadkill squirrels, fear not. Follow these steps and you'll forever turn up your nose at store-bought meat.

Harold Hoey's Baked Squirrel (From Squirrel Dog Basics by David A. Osborn - highly recommended, by the way.) I've modified Mr. Hoey's recipe slightly and added some additional instructions.

Ingredients:

2-3 sectioned roadkill squirrels

flour

vegetable oil

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 small can of sliced mushrooms or half a cup of sliced fresh mushrooms.

Season squirrels with salt and pepper, then roll in flour. Cook in oiled skillet until golden brown. Place squirrels in covered baking dish. Cover squirrels with milk/cream mixture, celery, onions, and mushrooms. Bake young squirrels 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Bake old-timers - especially fox squirrel roadkill - another half-hour or 45 minutes.

You can't go wrong. Eat with your fingers. You'll need lots of napkins.

Answer 7

If the animal or bird has been freshly killed then I don't think there is any problem otherwise what happens to the Caracas's its left to rot and decompose without benefit to man or beast and so if  man or beast can benefit from a road kill then why not.

Answer 8
