"And unless I had run over the animal, or the person in front of me, I would never eat roadkill. Yet again, much too worried about the health issue there!"
It's been so long, I can't remember if I saw it on the 'net or a tv special, but I recall a um .." gentleman" who lived on road kill, as in, purchased no meats at all. Even 15-20 days old was fair game for this guy. I'll admit, there are a fair number of survival stories where people have lived because they were willing to consume something out of the ordinary. I also recal a story about 10 years ago where a 40000 y o mastadon was frozen in an iceburg or glacier and it was discovered that the meat was still edible. Anyone know the real story about the origional inhabitants of Easter island, and why they disappeared? Yes, if you get hungry enough, and it means survival, there is no telling who , er , what you will eat. I personally like Bear Grylls of suvivorman for being willing to eat outside the norm.
