News of the Weird: Roadkill Cooking Festival

[Chris Allingham]

Thousands flocked to the annual Roadkill Cooking Festival in Marlington, WV, in September, featuring an array of "tasting" dishes (e.g. black bear, possum, elk, snapping turtle) with a competition in which judges deducted points if the "chef" had not managed to remove all gravel or asphalt.
