In our defense. The rabbit was still warm when we got it home.
I cleaned and skinned it on the curb in front of the apartment, threw
the guts in the dumpster. I scraped and salted the hide while my
roomie was cooking the rabbit. It may still be hanging on the wall in
my old shop at my ex's house. "
Whew boy....this reminds me of the old Bob Newhart Show.
Larry, his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl used to go up on the highway looking for roadkill to serve as 'critter de jour" at their cafe.
I think the fast food burger chains still do that!
I wonder if it is a "southern" thing. When we lived in Virginia and
Florida, and even here in southern Maryland, it isn't unusual to see a
couple of guys in a pickup truck stopping to pick up and, I guess, take
home deer and even raccoons that have been hit and killed by cars. I
suppose it happens in New England, where I grew up, but I never saw it.
On the "back" route from here to Annapolis, there are a few roadside
signs offering the services of fellas who will "dress" your deer, dress
meaning butcher. I suppose these butchers will handle fresh road kill.
There's no shortage of it.
