The levels of respect, dignity, and open-mindedness you bring to the exploration of some of these recipes amazes me. My own mother made squirrel stew for us once when I was a kid. Processing roadkill animals requires caution, and knowing what to look for. Laymen probably shouldn't do it, as you CAN catch some nasty diseases from certain wild animals, but I don't believe people should disrespect those who choose to do this whether for survival's sake or otherwise. That animal didn't have to suffer and die purposelessly, and there's merit in that.

I think if you've lived in multiple cultures with practically opposite cuisines, it would give you the ability to see new foods as something that's culturally significant to other people rather than weird or taboo. It would also make you reconsider how we're taught to eat "right." For instance, white Americans - even healthcare professionals - will demonize rice, noodles, MSG, red meat, or whatever else diet culture says is bad this week... Without considering that cultures have thrived on their ethnic nutrient sources for millennia.

Emmy is a strong contender but I've seen McGie Homestead Adventures eat deer and opossum and fox and bobcat and coyote. Their young sons hunt and trap it. So idk. Sending ones kids who are too young to drive out to bring back that sorta stuff...then all sitting round the table to eat it...that's hard.

I grew up in poverty in rural Appalachia in the 1960s. My daddy was a pastor of a tiny church and they paid him almost entirely in home-grown produce, milk and eggs, chickens and bits of butchered livestock, and the results of their hunting. I've eaten plenty of possums in my day, along with rabbits, squirrels, turtles, and more. I've never been a big fan of meat in general, even as a young child, and I went vegetarian as soon as I was old enough to go against my parents' wishes (they sincerely thought meat was vital to my health), but I still have a lot of respect for the idea of using what's available. This is a great video and I salute you for normalizing the consumption of small game, though obviously (as you pointed out) it's important to be very cautious with literal roadkill.

A few years ago, my husband and I were driving the morning after a big snowstorm. It was so beautiful with everything blanketed in white. All of a sudden, we felt something hit the car so hard it went up onto the passenger side wheels for a second before slamming back down to the ground. A deer had run into the side of our car as we were doing about 50 MPH. A few minutes later, someone driving past stopped and made sure we were alright…. Before throwing the deer in the bed of his truck and declaring that’s good eatin’ right there.

Savages

I helped a friend salvage a road killed deer once. He filled his families freezer regularly with found deer. It's a really gory business, they tend to be "scrambled" internally, but after a few you learn how to deal with it and cut away the damage without any fuss. In Michigan at least you need a deer tag, which a cop will give you so you don't get charged with poaching.

My uncle use to hunt to put food on the table. My aunt was quite adept at cooking wild game. I’ve eaten possum, raccoon, squirrel, deer and anything he could hunt while at their house. My aunt use to soak wild game in milk to take the gamey taste out.

Great mom ❤

Raised in SW Ohio, both parents grew up during the depression. My Grampa raised rabbits to sell for (food, or pets.) supplement income. My dad went hunting, fishing, foraging for mushrooms etc. I wasnt a girlie girl, so i enjoyed the outdoorsy stuff, ( I also learned about mechanics and how to shoot pool.) Went hunting several times, nothitting anything. But the first rabbit I smithereened, was the last. Never hunted again, but cleaned a bunch of his kills, and fish, too. I think everyone should try it at least once (cleaning/skinning/ prepping food ) cause you never know if youll need it. Emmy, you are ready to fend for yourself in the wilderness. By the way, opposum that taste sweet have been feeding on berries or fruit. You were lucky, i had one that was eating onion grass and long dead road kill. One bite we were done. You are fantastic!!

We are country people and my husband had is bachelor party in a friends hay field and they had a big bonfire. One of his friends smacked a deer with his truck on the way there. He showed up and a couple other guys jumped into the truck and they drove back to pick it up. They all ended up having venison cooked over the fire that night 😆

I’m always so excited for your videos, they’re beautifully educational. Thanks for the shoutout! Happily watching from Northern Montana! 😁❤️

Here in the UK, owing to there being many game species "owned" by the landed gentry, roadkill is a touchy subject legally, one rule being that if you accidentally hit an animal with a vehicle, you cannot take it for food, but the person behind you can, this is because the alleged "uppers" think we'll all go out and mow down their precious pheasants and rabbits to eat for ourselves, but the rule is so daft that someone could indeed go out mowing down animals and just have someone follow behind picking them up, but that's a daft idea because the roads aren't littered with creatures playing chicken with car bumpers, and you'd spend more money in fuel (and repairs!) than if you'd just gone to a real butcher and just bought the meat there... :P

If you'd paired this with lime Jell-O and sliced really strong onions, I think I'd have ran screaming into the night. A similar combination, a frankly turned roadkill stew and lime Jell-O with the onions were actually brought to a church potluck when I was a kid. 😮 Good choice, braising. Omnivores like opossum and raccoons need that, or they're very tough. And skinning and braising can get rid of extra grease. Raccoon, if you get the chance, is like little bear. Kind of tastes like beef. My point of reference? Did a LOT of small game hunting as a teen, and I've really never been afraid to try most things. So, if it's native to North America, not on the endangered species list, a songbird, or a pet, I've probably tried it at some point. And I've avoided hardcore carnivores. Had some scavenger bear (ate meat and other dead animals), and it's kind of rough tasting. VERY gamey. So, no hawk, vulture, coyote, fox, wolf, etc. Also, to me, beaver tastes heavily of mineral oil. Very greasy, any way I've had it. My mom hated wild game, so I faked her out by using half domestic rabbit and either wild rabbit or squirrel. Domestic are all "white meat," wild are all "dark." All based on how much they use their muscles. My mom never caught on. 😁 Processed several roadkill deer. Always later at night. Nothing looks right under a mercury vapor yard light, but the end products are well worth it. 😁 Good for you, trying something many are afraid to try!

I love the respect you always show for any kind of food

Oh my god, she's not joking. Awesome

Many years ago, when I was living in the UK, a deer jumped over the wall in front of my Landrover... I could not avoid hitting it. There was no way I was leaving it there, so I wrangled it into the back and took it home and we butchered it and froze the meat - it fed us for several months. There were also a couple of times I found pheasants that had been hit by a car. They ended up in the pot too.

Epic. Emmy is primal and I'm here for it

Wow I never would have expected this but it was very cool to see and learn about!

You are SOOOO BRAVE! I have not ate Road kill but one time and it was a deer that Our Friend had hit obviously, accidentally. He went and contacted Our local Game, Fish and Parks Department. He got a tag to keep the deer for meat. We, He and I field dressed it on the side of the road. We then hung it in Our tree at home. My Husband butchered as much meat as was possible. It was okay. I only like some deer. It was not bad. I am from South Dakota only 2 states east of Montana. We have Our Hunting Seasons each for different Game. Thank You, for doing this one.

This is fantastic, Emmy! I was inspired in my teen years by a badass hippie chick who found a hit deer one day, took it home, and processed it into hamburger meat all by herself. Coming home from a months-long roadtrip, I found a freshly hit rabbit and butchered and cooked it at my campsite using cow patties for fuel. I tried to tan the pelt myself but it didn’t go well 😅 People are usually shocked when they hear about that bc I’m a fairly mild-mannered petite lady too 🙈 Proud of you, girl! Thanks for educating. Definitely check your state laws though, everybody!

This is so cool Emmy! Ages ago when I was a teenager, I did this with a bunch of my friends in a blizzard with a raccoon we found freshly hit. Unfortunately all of us were vegetarian (for me it’s an allergy sadly) so we couldn’t eat the meat ourselves, but the dogs absolutely loved it! The skinning process was really such a beautiful experience to share with my friends. We tanned the hide and I still have it and will treasure it forever ❤️

Having seen rabid racoons, deer and dogs a dead animal on the side of the road can stay there, as far as I'm concerned. They said of the Zombie Deer desease that just because an animal looks healthy, there's not enough research to know how long it takes to manifest and wether an animal may have it or not even if it looks healthy.

I would never even go near roadkill but there's certainly nothing wrong with doing this so long as you're safe about it -- both about traffic when picking it up, and avoiding various food dangers (e.g., bacterial issues or if the animal had worms). If I were in the south and offered possum and sweet potatoes, I'd likely give it a try.

This was really cool! I think it's awesome you're interested in being resourceful and using primal skills!

Run out of other food? Lawdy be! 😂

So you actually picked up a possom off the road? How do you know how long it was there for? Or if it wasnt diseased? My father use to trap rabbit, and skin them at home in the sink. I couldnt stand the taste of the gameness. We get a moose every year, and thats not as gamey. Its shocking that possom isnt so gsmey. And for me, watching him skin the rabbit at such a young age completely turned me off eating it (along with the flavour). Primal? LOL

In my Airforce years - late 1970s - here in North Florida, my airbase cafeteria served fried rabbit. It was farmraised, no "gaminess" at all. I loved it. More of a semi-white meat, compared to the darker meat of squirrel, which also did not taste gamey to me. But maybe because I grew up eating them? 🤔

Omgosh!!! I saw this post on fb and im so glad you made a video!

Thanks for being patient.😄

Good for you. I had no idea of your experience with hunting culture or rustic living. Having grown up with butchering our livestock, I now seem to have a somewhat unique perspective. Glad to see this side of you. Have a blessed day 💖✝✝

Always check an opossums pouch because there could be babies in there
