Road Kill Cooking Tips.

[chaska]

Tip one:
I have it on good authority that if the fleas are still alive and active on the carcass it's still good eatin'.

Tip two:
Squirrels Should boiled with the head on (there's a lot of meat in the head/neck area) until the meat falls off the bone. There's not enough meat on a squirrel to effectively remove any other way.

Okay, now your turn.

1. Soaking the carcass in brine can kill some of the bacteria

Still cook the hell out of it, but this will kill a lot of it, and it will keep it tender.

[chaska]

2. Mmm, salty.

3. Don't eat roadkill

had a friend that got rabies from doing that. Ah the joy of growing up in boonief&ck Connecticut...that and getting chased by moose and missing school because there is a bear sleeping in the frontyard.

edit: I was fully in support of pelting it and making slippers until I went veggie.

5. There's always gotta be one.... Party pooper.

'sides, what's a little rabies among friends?

[Angry Girl]

10. Sissies. Always complainin' about rabies!

Ew! It makes me spit! Ow! The shots hurt! Wah! I'm so crazy pissed off!

[chaska]

17. Snicker, followed by guffaw, and then the ever popular....

:rofl:

4. Don't throw away the paws!

If you pickle them, they make great snacks for the kids. Be sure to remove any claws, however, which can go to making a spiffy necklace!

6. I take it we're not talking about shrews or hummingbirds.

[Angry Girl]

9. The hummingbirds are too small. But their beaks make nice earrings!

The shrews I've had are very chewy. I must try Taverner's tip of soaking them in brine. They're good in tacos, btw. (But I prefer mole wraps.)

7. Squirrel Squares by Road Ready Flat Snacks. Ask for them by name. eom

11. Don't boil snake

[chaska]

16. So you want to roast snake, then? Is all snakes tasty?

[XemaSab]

19. Snake

12. Road squirrel is best when roasted slowly over a trash fire

Season with pavement de-icer. Wash it down with a tall Bud Ice.

[chaska]

14. Oh God, yes. There is nothing quite like a trash fire to flavor your....

various and sundry carrion.

[ragin_acadian]

13. if you are storing the carcass in a non-refridgerated area for more

than twelve hours, do remeber to flip it every once in awhile, blood pooling can ruin pelts.

[chaska]

15. Well, it might not keep you warm, but it'll still make darn good sausage!
