Having read about this road kill cuisine I decided to try some. It was baby raccoon. I have never been so sick in my life. I am not sure whether it was the meat or the embedded tar from the blacktop that got me sick. Who should I send the stomach-pumping bill to, you Marc? Shame on all of you that promoted this thread with out a disclaimer.
Jim,
The problem isn't the meat or the tar. You just started with the wrong species. If your just coming off of a veggie diet don't eat an omnivore. Stick with the veggie eaters. I recommend a nice gravel-rabbit stew.
Also remember to make sure the roadkill is fresh. I have a simple process for assuring this.
1) Place a can of orange paint in your car.
2) As you are driving along look for any roadkill
3) Stop and paint an orange circle around the ex-critter.
4) Proceed to you destination.
Later, as you drive home from your destination, look for any roadkill that is missing an orange circle. This roadkill is fresh.
