Road kill! As with most people, the thought of picking up something I’ve hit with my car and cooking it is not a pleasant thought. However, this is not a tongue in cheek section. Many in our country rely on these gifts to feed themselves and their families. It’s not as rare of a thing as it used to be. It’s been said that eating Roadkill is the height of recycling.
Next question is if eating roadkill is legal. According to Wikipedia, The practice of eating roadkill is legal, and even encouraged in some jurisdictions, while it is tightly controlled or restricted in other areas. Roadkill eating is often mocked in pop culture, where it is associated with stereotypes of rednecks and uncouth persons.
To ensure that the meat you propose to use is good or not, I highly suggest following these rules.
So with this in mind, I offer the following:
Copy Cat Recipe for Roadkill – I personally love copy cat recipes. They make it easier to create a similar dish to enjoy. RoadHouse put this one together. Easy to make and a definite must to be included in this section.
Moose and Squirrel Meatballs – This is a good way to use these foodstuffs. I think it would be a good meal when added to your favorite spaghetti sauce over noodles.
Racoon Kabobs – Racoons are quite prevalent in the mountains. So there is opportunity there if needed. Print the ones you like and store with your food storage or bugout bag.
Succulent Squirrel – I can foresee a time when this type of recipe will be welcomed. There were some during the beginning of the pandemic that used this type of meat when there was nothing available in the stores.
I know how difficult this is to read. I am having difficulty even looking for recipes. DeadFood.com is a great place to locate other recipes for various types of meat that falls into this category. I for one have printed off ALL of their recipes and put the pages into my bugout bag.
