Roadkill Stew -- It's Hmm, Hmm Good!

Recycling "strikes" the animal kingdom in the form of eating what the Chevys and Toyotas leave behind. You might want to clean it and cook it first, but you've got to admit, it's a really cheap way to get your protein. And it's a way to use resources that would otherwise just go to waste.

Personally, I'm a vegetarian, and so roadkill is off limits. Other foraged foods, though, like wild blackberries, mushrooms, apples, etc., are fair game. They're getting harder and harder to find, especially in a city, but one man, Fergus Drennan, a.k.a. Fergus the Forager, has undertaken a unique personal challenge. On April 1, 2008, he began eating nothing but foraged foods, including roadkill, for a full year.

Even if you're not ready to go on the Roadkill Diet, you can find out more about this unique culinary experiment by heading on over to: www.wildmanfood.com
