In his inimitable style, Buck Peterson takes the reader to such far-flung, well-hung places as Azerbaijan and the Isle of Gilligan to enjoy foodstuffs once known only to a small handful of well-heeled heels. The International Cookbook teaches the where and how to practice roadkill skills on foreign soil, details the food customs and traditions of the home country, and serves the most popular recipes prepared in Buck's own roadside test kitchens. The recipes include the popular UK dish -Bangered and Mashed, Chili's national dish - Chili Con Carnage, Pakistan's Chicken Peeloff and Germany's Hasenpflatten.

not bad, lacks tips though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2015

It has very little useful tips, we know the obvious bits like having to cook badger because of the TB, but some basic RoadKill questions were never answered...
Like what do I do with his bike?

Great recipes!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2007

B.R. Peterson's attainment of two Michelin Stars speaks for itself. Who could be better equipped to write on the subject than the head chef of 'The Roadside Inn'? Everything you need is included here, including valuable advice on collecting animals for use. The tips on fitting bull-bars were an absolute lifesaver. If you thought that the Robin Reliant looked threatening after my appearance on MTV's 'Pimp my Ride', you should see it now! At a recent party our guests agreed that the fox steaks (marinated in balsamic vinegar with cubes of wild beetroot and a pinch of fresh sesame seeds) were a big success. The hedgehog and red onion souffle was slightly less popular, but I blame Doreen for going a little overboard with the saffron. Still, Crispin's 5th Birthday Party was a triumph and we shall return to these recipes in the future.

Slim Pickings!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2009

I bought this book for my Dad who actually is really into roadkill. However, this was more of a novelty item than an actual cookbook as such filled with funny anecdotes and cartoons. I was also rather dissappointed at just how slim it was when it arrived. I didn't feel it was worth the money paid and although created a giggle on Christmas Day, its not really worth using. It's also very American and doesn't cross culture well.

Nicht immer ernst zu nehmende Rezepte

Reviewed in Germany on 21 August 2014

Verified Purchase

Wer eine Schwäche für echten amerikanischen Humor hat, wird dieses Buch und seine Rezeptvorschläge zur Verarbeitung von überfahrenem Wild genießen. Die Rezepte gibt es tatsächlich, da viele der Menschen in Bereichen der Appalachen oder in ländlichen Gebieten entweder arbeitslos oder Geringverdiener sind, und sich durch die genannten Zusatzlebensmittel über die Runden bringen. Wer von den Rezepten überrascht ist, sollte sich auch klar darüber sein, dass die Jagdgesetze in den Vereinigten Staaten anderes sind. Wer dort angefahrenes Wild findet, darf es mitnehmen ohne Probleme zu befürchten.
Die einzelnen Rezepte sind in Anekdoten eingebettet, die für deutsche Leser wahrscheinlich eine ganz neue Welt erschließen, einen ganz eigenen Sinn für Humor, eine völlig andere Mentalität.
Guten Appetit!

Hilarious!! Alright ... maybe not so funny, unless you have a kinda twisted sense of humour.
I guess I do ... *except* ... I was sickened by a few of the recipes re cats and dogs.

Some people will find this to be gut-busting hilarious. Depends on the sense of humour, and the amount of alcohol consumed.

Shopping for protein on the road

Reviewed in the United States on 12 November 2013

Verified Purchase

I have a friend who is a great cook, and she never shares her recipes.....or at least, when she shares, there is some critical ingredient she fails to include, and the results are never the same. This is my present for her, to stand beside her Julia Childs' cookbooks.

Years ago now, I worked in the offshore oil field, and my deckhand previously worked with a captain who foraged road kill for his crew. He picked it up from the side of LA Hwy 1 between Leesville and Port of Fourchon on his way to the boat. No joke. When the crew complained to the office, which provided grocery allowance enough to not rely on road kill, a quick trip to the boat verified its presence in the freezer. So under those circumstances, the crew needed a cookbook such as this one.

I cast no aspersions upon road kill per se, but it isn't for those with weak stomachs. Including myself. Don't take this seriously as a cookbook, but if you have a highly accomplished chef to buy for, this could be an exciting diversion for them. I doubt they ever heard of this cookbook. Published by Ten Speed Press....on the road again. :)

When I first met my daughter-in-law, I gave her the nickname “Road Kill” as she had run over a couple animals. Seemed like a logical choice at the time. She is however an excellent cook. Seemed like a perfect gift for her.

Fire up the grill Hon!

Reviewed in the United States on 20 April 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is hillarious! A must for anyone who drives the highways and byways in a rural or city area. I thought at first that my husband or father-in-law had written this book. Then I realized that I had not eaten any of these foods,since according to them I am a kill joy and won't let them scrape dead carcasses from the road and bring home. I guess they'll just have to figure out how to use these recipes for freshly killed and field dressed hunted creatures.

Now if I could just get a how to freeze dry your husband's hunted meals................

Useful if you go in for that sort of thing and certainly humorous. I've eaten a number of FRESH road kill deer (great) and, one woodchuck (on a dare-terrible) but I haven't got around to the other critters described. Since I'm now on social security, "bumper bunny" is looking better all the time.

Road Kill cook book

Reviewed in the United States on 4 March 2012

Verified Purchase

It's ok..... Not really a cook book. More of a joke book about cooking wild game and Road kill???? Well not really road kill per say... hence the jokes. But does make for some great stories when the folks come by to enjoy a real home cooked meal of wild game Killed by the great hunters who darn near froze to death sitting in a tree stand for two weeks. Men do some strange things to amuse themselves. Even chase balls all day into a little hole in the dirt. So buy the book, and enjoy the laughs that it will start everyone to enjoy!

Good sense of humor in labeling the meals and describing the means for procuring the product. I have to say I have not tried any of the recipes.
