The Road Kill Diet

Posted by samzenpus on

In a blatant attempt to become the next Iron Chef UK, a Kent man has vowed to eat nothing but wild food he can forage, including road kill, for a year. Fergus Drennan will gather his food within a 10 mile radius of his home. Starters on his menu include such things as mushrooms, berries, nuts and acorn coffee. Dead squirrels, foxes, badgers and rabbits he comes across make up his main courses and he plans on using their skins for clothing. Lets hope he's purchased a lot of Altoids.

    Lazlow: Err, do you have anything else to say, or...
    Caller: Pigeons. Pigeons are good too. Sometimes, they come with notes attached. It's like a fortune cookie with wings. Squirrels! Squirrels is not so good, they taste like goldfish, meat's real stringy, ya know what I mean?
