Dated an unusual man a long time ago, like when dinosaurs roamed the earth as my kids would say, who routinely made road kill chili and served it to dates and other people in his life. He was a good man and totally into consuming nature's bounty if it was fresh road kill. Must have been, I never got sick from eating the chili.
My late darling grandmother would pick up fresh road kill rabbits to feed to her cats. They liked rabbit meat and it was easier than hunting them.
