... This, then, is a mission, and one Fergus doesn't shirk from. He will, it seems, eat pretty much anything. He tells me how he once tricked a friend into eating badger burgers and segues into an enthusiastic defence of one of his favourite pastimes: eating roadkill.
"It's estimated that 10million birds, 20,000 foxes and 50,000 badgers are killed on the roads every year," he says. "If you assume that two million of those birds will be edible, and that a badger would feed six people, that's about 2,300,000 meals going to waste. And you can do so much with it. I used badger intestines once to make some chipolatas."
Fortunately, badger intestines are not on the menu today ...

(6,151 posts)A lot of other countries think humans eating corn (cattle feed) is crazy, but they'll turn around and glory in making blood sausage, for instance. I've got a pretty cast iron stomach, but it stops short of that alleged delicacy.
The thread reminds me of the Daryll brothers(?) on the old Bob Newhart show set in Connecticut. They were big on Roadkill. Larry, Daryll, and Daryll. I understand the guy who played Larry, the speaking brother, was quite the scholar IRL. I liked him a lot.
