Recently I received the Liebster Blog Award from Sissi of With a Glass. I also received the bloggers equivalent of a “call option” over the Liebster Blog Award from ping of pingspickings. In simple terms the call option allows me the right to take the award if and when I feel like. I think I may have confused you a little. Thank you for the awards. Over the coming days I will carefully select bloggers to give the award to.

If you are lucky enough to be Jonathan McGowan's dinner guest you will probably be served ‘exotic dishes’ such as rat stir fries and owl curries. Jonathan, a 44-year-old bachelor, has lived on a diet of roadkill for the past 30 years to avoid buying meat from the supermarket.

Jonathon is a taxidermist who never kills the animals himself. He eats only what he finds at the roadside or in woodland. He does not eat anything that is not fresh and performs an autopsy if he does not know how an animal died. That requires some skill. I wonder how animal activists, vegetarians and vegans will react to this since Jonathan is not harming any animals. On the contrary he is literally cleaning up the environment. Could be a good thing, depends on how we look at it.

  3. I'll be certain to decline any invites from Mr. McGowan for dinner. I'm not really shocked he's remained a bachelor!

  8. Thank you for linking to my blog! You deserve more than twice the award :-)
    I am surprised Mr McGowan is still alive! All the animals which are not necessarily fresh (but if the temperature is good, the meat might be matured, like at the good butcher's ;-)
    On the other hand he controls everything since he is able to perform an autopsy...

    Chopinandmysaucepan: glad it brought back memories

    Lizzy: Mr. McGowan will be disappointed when you turn down the invitation:)

    Ashley: thank you

    Sonia: looking forward to seeing pictures. Blue looks really unique and attractive

    ping: Yes as in Jicama and Jamaica:) I had been meaning to ask if the fonts…:) I wonder if ladies are queuing up to share romantic roadkill dinners with him.

    Lorraine: it does look very unique

    Sissi: thank you for the award! Matured/aged roadkill – that’s reserved for his special guests only! I think he has enough knowledge and experience to know whats good to eat and whats not. He has a very unique expertise though I am not sure if many/any restaurants are trying to hire him
