vegetarian roadkill

Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorite authors of escapist fiction. His books feature a recurring character who frequently dines on roadkill — animals found dead on the highway.

I’m a vegetarian, more or less, so I’m less likely to ever eat roadkill than, say, you are. Still, I’ve been eating a lot of avocadoes that have fallen out of my tree, and I wonder if that qualifies.

Comparison of fallen avocadoes to roadkill  roadkill  fallen  avocadoes 
bruised x x
soft, squishy in parts x x
requires vigorous cleaning prior to consumption x x
will begin to smell in another day or two x x
blood, brains caked into fur x  

So, not entirely alike, but still pretty close I think.
