What do people normally cook in an anything goes category? Desserts or some special dish??

If it stays indented, the roadkill is too old. If the eyeball comes back to its original shape; it's fresh.

Mark said:As far as the anything goes category I like roadkill. You just never know what providence will deliver. I know it sounds wierd; "You mean you eat dead animals you find along the road?"
No, I'm selective. It has to be fresh with minimal internal organ damage and enough mass to be worthwhile. After all, I'm not going to fire up my smoker for a few ounces of flattened toad. I'm talkin larger animals that are fresh.
