speedy 0 #1 January 31, 2006 From Sky News It's Finger-Licking Good! Hedgehog carbonara, badger sandwiches and even labrador are meat and drink for Arthur Boyt. The retired civil servant from Cornwall has spent a lifetime eating roadkill animals. He is so keen to share his enthusiam for the delights of weasel, fox, sparrow and - more conventionally - pigeon and deer, that he has written a cookbook. Mr Boyt, 66, says his recipes are perfectly safe as long as the creatures are skinned and cooked properly and he has never been ill. "It's good meat for free and I know nobody has been messing with it and feeding it hormones," he insists. "It adds to the pleasure of a meal to know I haven't paid for it." Mr Boyt says he can use virtually all of any whole animal he finds in the countryside near his Davidstow home. Most go into casseroles which cook for a long time and tenderises the meat. As for the labrador - it was said to taste like lamb. The dog had no collar or identification so Mr Boyt could not trace the owners. So he ate it.
