Couldn't believe this in The Times but check this guy out! He even eats labrador!

Fed up with Jamie? So try roadkill - rat or badger

Hedgehog Spaghetti Marinara

Serves 4. 500g spaghetti, 30ml olive oil, 250g lean hedgehog, 1 medium onion chopped, 125ml water, 60ml dry white wine, 4 eggs, 60ml double cream, 100g Parmesan cheese (grated).

Cool, I am not sure if I would dare myself though.

I have this disgust for meateater's intestines. And I feel that their meat reeks naturally.

If I had to live of the land, I would probably eat every animal that was killed. The northern peoples used to be a lot less picky before they got guns. Nowadays all people will eat is ungulates.

yep, if the intestines have burst then the meat is tainted and I wouldn't touch it myself

Sounds good! Obviously an accomplished cook but lousy Italian.

It should be Spaghetti Riccio con panna
