(I should footnote Carl Hiaasen's character Skink.)

We are greatly saddened by how many of our furry little friends we see flattened along our roadways on a typical daily drive to work. In a well-intentioned effort to turn those frowns around, we have proposed a tasteful end for those unfortunate creatures who wanted nothing more in life than to learn what might lie on the other side of the road. We think that they would have wanted it that way.

Raccoon Kabobs
(Also known as "Ringtail Surprise")

Two pounds, reasonably fresh raccoon, cut into one-inch cubes; one-half cup homemade French dressing; two green peppers, cut into squares; one large onion, cut into one-inch pieces; one-third pound mushroom caps.

Place raccoon cubes in a ceramic bowl and pour dressing over cubes. Let marinate two or more hours. Remove cubes, reserving marinade. Alternate raccoon cubes with pepper squares, onion pieces and mushroom caps on skewers. Brush all with reserved marinade and broil over hot coals until done to desired degree. Turn frequently and baste with marinade as needed.

Serves six.

1. I like Carl Hiaasen and Skink

Don't think I'll try racoon stew.

2. Reasonably fresh raccoon cubes. That would be the key to the recipe. n/t

7. In Pennsylvania, where I grew up,

it was not uncommon for drivers who came upon some good roadkill to get out of their cars and retrieve it. But, if they didn't have time to grab it, they just drew a chalk circle around it and continued on their way. If, when they drove back, there was something fresher on the road, the driver would retrieve the roadkill without a chalk circle around it.

Freshness is essential.

3. To quote Baldrick in Black Adder

How about Rat au Vin sir. Yes Baldrick - I assume that to be a rat runover by a van.

5. All joking aside

and just to show how gubbible and I am at times. I was in OH 6 years ago, just visitng from the UK and had noticed that a resturant we drove past occasionally had a sign outside saying "Roadkill served here" When it came to figuring where we should eat one night, having fallen for the bait, I blithely said "How about the roadkill place - sounds interesting" :)

4. For oldtimers only:

Does anyone remember the cartoon(s) about "The Roadkill Cafe"?

That's where you're going to find the good stuff in the coming months.

9. roadkill is already tenderized, right? "reasonbly fresh" raccoon cubes?
