A PROFESSIONAL forager from Kent is to front a new BBC show called Roadkill Café.
Fergus Drennan will use the programme to promote mown-down foxes, rats, hedgehogs, badgers and squirrels over processed food.
Mr Drennan, who describes himself as a “vegetarian who eats roadkill”, runs a company called Wild Man which sells fresh mushrooms, nuts, berries and weeds.
Eating roadkill, said Mr Drennan, is acceptable because “it’s not been killed on your behalf”.
He added: “It’s not factory farmed or pumped full of antibiotics. It is fresh, local, seasonal and nutritionally rich.”
The series will be screened on BBC Three next year.
