[Ashley Cawley]

A (http://www.whatsontianjin.com/news-1629-uk-man-jonathan-mcgowan-lives-on-roadkill-for-30-years-never-buy-meat.html) funny article I saw on Twitter, this man does eat some funny stuff even by my standards (and I eat road-kill!)They couldn't even get the captions right to some of the images though; says 'Pigeon' when it's obviously a pheasant he's butchering.

Quite a handy scourse of meat for a Taxidermist eh......

"'I used to cut up dead animals to see their insides and when I did all I could see was fresh, organic meat, better than the kind I had seen in the supermarkets. So I never saw a problem with cooking and eating it.'"

Brains with a nice chiante any one "thsssp thssssp thhsssspppppp!!" lol

Nowt wrong with Road kill, obviously some precautions must be observed.
However id not eat anything found dead in the woods or on farm land as it states he does in the blerb...
And also sometimes carnivores get poisoned and wander into roads, id stick to bird life and herbivores...

Did you listen to the abusive phone calls he gets? The bloke is treated like a leper by the locals on Bodmin. His wife refused to be seen in the TV programme :)

I was speaking to Jonathan on the phone a couple of weeks back about something entirely different.
He's not as mad as the newspaper article would have you believe.
