I had a similar book on my kitchen bookshelf once. [something simple
like "Roadkill cookbook"?] I loved the reaction it got when folks
would be looking around and spot it-- then they'd really want to
know what I was serving for dinner.

I never went in for roadkill- it ruins a lot of meat. But I do
consider all animals possible meals.
