Baaaaa!

The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronome Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.

The rules of the meme:
1) bold those you have tried
2) strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
2a) Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
2b) Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.

75. Roadkill*

Does it have to be something you find or can it be a deer you hit with your truck and decide to cut up and eat? Does that count as roadkill or just make you a red-neck?

What if it's your first anniversary and you just happen to have gun in the back of your truck to finish it off with and cut it up by the lights of your truck and your daddy's truck? (I also got livestock as a wedding gift.)

If it's hit with a truck it's still roadkill even if you're the one who hit it. In that case, I've eaten roadkill. Thanks, Auntie S!
