IT'S ROAD KILL NIGHT AT THE HOTEL VERMONT!

It’s Road Kill Night at the Hotel Vermont in Burlington. The hotel will host a dinner called “Wild About Vermont” on November 7, a fish and wild game supper with all donations from Vermont hunters and fisherman. Goose and other land dwellers will be on the menu, including deer, bear, moose, beaver and muskrat. Road kill will also be served up for dinner, supplied by Vermont Fish and Wildlife. “The idea is to get people connected to their local food sources, but also to showcase the traditions of Vermont,” says hotel Chef Doug Paine. “I’m sure 90 percent of Vermonters haven’t tried beaver. But I’m sure they would like it if they did,” Paine said.
* Well, maybe closer to 50 percent. But just the same.
* So, are the people in Vermont the worst drivers ever, or what?
* Moose vs. car. How did that work out for the car?
* Just be sure you’re eating grill marks and not tire tread.
* Try the filet of muskrat. I hear it’s delicious.
* Sorry, I don’t eat any foods with the word “rat” in the name.
* This is showcasing the traditions of Vermont? Eating roadkill?
* What are the appetizers? Squirrels?
* “Wild About Vermont”? Mmmmm … no. Not really.
