I can see why. Who wouldn’t prefer pre-tenderized meat?

“Please, no aliens in cart”

I’ve seen a lot of things for sale and road kill is no where near the top of the list of disgusting things I seen hanging and laying around some markets of the world.

Only if it’s fresh.

I used to work with a Lumbee tribesman who made it a point to recover edible roadkill whenever possible.

I’m undecided on what to comment, tell me which one is best:

“Are the flies included or is that an extra charge.”

Or

“Would you like some flies with that?”

Yeah, but is it kosher?

I used to be a dispatcher for a few communities. We kept a list of hunters that would come and harvest animals that were just killed and take what meat off of it they could. Came in handy if the animal was out of season – you could end up with a lot of venison or moose meat.

Be sure to stop in aisle 5 and pick up some Oreos for Bleeb, no wait, maybe he would rather have a Moon Pie.

Which Carolina is this in?

I’ll take a pound of ground (wood) chuck…

While it may be legal, I’m pretty sure it’s past it’s ‘best by’ date.

Shades of the Medieval world, when butchers had their “wares” hanging in an open air type market, offal dripping off the animal carcasses and then along the middle of the street to a smelly, nasty river .

I have lived most of my life in California, but spent 4 years in England. The kids there would not touch black olives, even when my kids showed them how to put them on their fingers.

Road kill on the grill… give it nice grill marks… then try some bumper marks and maybe some tire marks! NO side of flies, por favor! :>)

I just had to be eating
