Mike, I just looked for my cook book with road kill recipes. I didn't see it so I must have loaned it to someone who was having a formal dinner. If you want I can go to a bookstore here in Augusta and find another copy and mail it to you. I know they don't have them in your neck of the woods. How much time have you got before you do the cooking? We are starting to get alot of possums on the half shell here. We do a pretty good job cooking them but I imagine the boys in Texas maybe better than we are since they have had them longer than we have. Nepas lives in Savannah where there are alot of crabs and turtles crossing the road to Tybee Island during certain times of the year, but they get mashed flat when you run over them so they ain't enough left to even fry. So he won't be of any help. What do y'all run over up there? Maybe something you can send us down here to broaden our roadkill cooking skills. The Turtle is right about the chitlins. Salley, SC has the "Chitlin Strutt" every year but they don't get them from road kill. When you hit a hog with a vehicle they vehicle looks more like road kill sometimes than the hog. I can get you a gallon bucket of chitlins from the grocery store if you want me to send you some. They are already cleaned so that will save you some time in the preparation. Sorry, I can't be of more help. Let me know if you want me to send you a book on how to prepare roadkill. Dee
