Be sure to let everyone know when you open up "Prairiedogs-R-Us". 
I'll see ya next year.
Grilled, sliced, canned or pickled? Or all of the above?
You know what they say: "There's no better way to say 'bubonic plague' than with the gift of a delicious prairie dog platter."
I'm pretty sure that's what they say!
The annual roadkill picnic/cookoff in West Virginia is coming up soon (September 29th)
Citizens of the state have been picking up, and cooking, roadkill long before they named a festival in honor of the practice. But several years ago, the state of West Virginia finally legalized this popular local practice, and the Roadkill Cookoff in Marlinton was born. Dishes with names like Thumper Meets Bumper, Asleep at the Wheel Squeal, One Ton Wonton, Rigormortis Bear Stew, Tire Tread Tortillas and Deer on a Stick are judged for their taste - or lack of it.
Perhaps you could beat out that sad Thumper embarrassment with a majestic, well-roasted Dog on a Log or Black Death Brisket recipe. Mmm.
