When someone doesn’t want to make their dinner, they’ll go out to buy a pizza and bring it back home, or get a box of pasta delivered from that delightful Italian place down the road. There’s usually an option that doesn’t involve driving too far, but what if you could literally get your dinner “down the road?”
2. Check the map to find roadkill near your house.
In Arkansas, and most states excluding- you guessed it- Texas, picking up roadkill with intentions of cleaning and cooking it is one thousand percent legal. You see a deer lying dead and it starts to look like your lunch? Go get it, it’s yours for the taking.
3. Set the distance wheel, find roadkill from 1-5000 miles from your location.
There’s an app called “Roadkill Art” that will not only outline the regulations for taking advantage of this cuisine but will also tell you where you can reserve it. You can eat deer, rabbits, raccoons, badger, moose, bear, possum, and if you live in say, some particularly interesting area, kangaroo also makes the list.
- Check the map for your state’s roadkill regulations.
You should be warned, though, if you feel like reptiles would be a perfect addition to your meal, that these creatures–snakes, frogs, and lizards especially–will most likely be extremely squashed.
5. See a picture of roadkill you want.
You can’t eat armadillos because they carry some pretty bad diseases, including leprosy, known as Hansen’s Disease in modern times, and that would be unfortunate. Soup kitchens, churches, family reunions… These are all wonderful opportunities to find a nice roadkill to reserve.
6. Watch a video to see the condition of available roadkill.
This may seem like a perfect concept to be satirical about, but I assure you, Arkansas does not take their roadkill lightly. In fact, they take it grilled, broiled, fried, seasoned, and placed on the dinner table.
7. Read the rating of the roadkill condition.
“Roadkill Art has many roadkill lovers to meet, become friends with and swap information with. We are happy to have you as a part of Roadkill Art and look forward to a fun, healthy roadkill lifestyle with you.”
