other dog Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I spotted this truck near Peoria, Illinois Sunday. I was driving along minding my own binness when it pulled off the shoulder in front of me. Two guys jumped out and picked up a dead animal carcass, threw it in the back, and sped off. It even had a lift gate to make loading large animals easier. Had a swarm of flies chasing after it. I don't know what they were up to, they must work for the state cleaning up road kill.

Rob Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yepper. Got the rolling "meat locker" out of storage. Was headed down to the river as the fish aint a bitin due to the cool weather, so a fisherman had to dynamite them, and got more than he bargained for. The state hi-way that runs alongside the bank was covered with fish chunks so I get called to clean it up. After grabbin my new aluminum scoop shovel, truck and drivin down there, I was able to scrape up much needed fish parts for a new batter that I been workin on. There was so many fish parts that I spent great effort of about 1/2 hour scraping them up. I just hate when things go to waste.It only got to about 80 degrees today so pretty sure nothing spoiled in the back of the truck. Plan to unload today and I'll let you know how the batter turns out.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Be careful about eating those in the yard. They have not been tested and certified "fit for human consumption" by anyone. Unlike my prepared dishes which are tested, and tasted by myself and certified "delicious, and nutritious" and rightfully deserving of the "dish of the year" Blue Ribbon, you may never know what those mushrooms have been exposed to. They are a Fungus after all.Be careful there, sure wouldn't want you to get sick or anything like that.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rt. 60 west of Amherst goes across the mountains and a couple of guys that lived up that way,one in Amherst and the other in Lexinton,both said they would go out in the woods after it rained and get mushrooms from under poplar trees.They said that was the only time you could find them,after it rained,and only under poplar trees.Both said they were delicious fried.

When sliced and diced, they go well with groundhog ribs too.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Greg Rider Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 How do you re-hydrate the flat ones? The natural juice is squeezed out by cars and fake gravy aint the same.

Joe you could have told them about the ramp festival held in your location each year. It would be great with what Rob is fixing. It goes with anything to help flavor it.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10539-rolling-deli-wagon/#findComment-39978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Joe about them once and I don't think he'd ever heard of them. Every little town in West Virginia has a ramp festival in the spring, they're crazy about them up there. I thought they were OK, just scrambled in eggs with crumbled up fatback, but I wouldn't travel out of my way to get them. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
