Compo 10,328 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Over the past two nights I have had roadkill deer curry for my tea. Mrs Compo will not eat anything roadkill, she thinks it unhygenic. I have always taken advantage of the free food whenever I can get it, provided that it is freshly killed. One Christmas I had roadkill pheasant for my Xmas dinner - yummy scrummy! What does the team think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wouldn't matter to me. When it's all cleaned up, what's the difference. I saw a tv programme back some time ago, where an old fella got his meat ration entirely from road-kill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Good on yer...... If it's fresh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Skunk, Armadillo, and Possum are the biggest roadkill around here, can send you some if you like roadkill...LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,614 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd eat certain roadkill as long as someone else skinned/plucked, gutted and cleaned it and I didn't have to watch! Also it would have to be fresh - don't want to be picking maggots off it, and disease free. On reflection, I think I'll stick with the local butcher. Just remembered....... I used to sometimes help my mum to pluck a chicken for dinner, but not 'draw' it and I had an auntie who said she always used the unshelled eggs which were sometimes still inside the chicken!

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Never gets time to get maggoty around here, the Vultures and crows are there almost as soon as a critter gets hit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 When I worked on CIE a loco near Dundrum clipped a deer, our cable laying which was on another spur stopped instantly.. Never have i seen rail workers become proficient butchers so quickly! The whole thing was jointed and squared away in jig time!! Venison burgers all 'round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Don't like my venison to fresh like to hang it for a few days, lets the flesh settle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sue J 11 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Roo meat would be the roadkill here, but if it hadn't just happened it would be fly-blown in no time at all! Hitting a kangaroo, unless you're driving a semi trailer, could mean you'd end up as the road kill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 One took the roof off my mates brand new car on the way to work one night, he was almost in tears, they used to scare me when I spotted them in my driving lights at night. I used to drive from Bathurst to near Lithgow to work back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Wouldn't think twice about it if it was fresh. Often used to see the local indigenous remove a big roo tail from a carcass at side of the road in our North. As they would say "Good tucker". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 It just shows you how different people are by the way they have grown up. If I'd seen a dead animal in the road I'd want to bury it with a cross on it's grave..lol. Not that I ever would, mind. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Early one morning, I was driving through Harby, and there was a recently killed badger in the road. As I detest seeing crushed animals, I stopped in order to move it into the hedge bottom. As I rolled it with my foot towards the grass verge, it suddenly released a big squirt of pee over my boots. God rest it's little soul. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
