"  It&amp;#039;s a well-known fact that pregnant women get cravings: pickles, ice cream, olives, everything covered in mustard, even dirt at times. But roadkill is a new one. Since becoming pregnant, British artist and taxidermist, Alison Brierley, has developed a taste for the roadside carcasses she once only used as materials for her art. More from Delish: Top 10 Celebrity Pregnancy Cravings &amp;quot;Usually I eat really healthily but now I&amp;#039; m pregnant I get strong cravings for roadkill,&amp;quot; Brierly told the Daily Mail. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s more gamey than other meat and I love the taste.&amp;quot; The expectant mother hypothesizes that it&amp;#039;s because her body craves the iron from the meat. She doesn&amp;#039;t mind the craving because she doesn&amp;#039;t have to feel guilty about eating all of the extra meat. &amp;quot;I know it&amp;#039;s had a completely free range and natural life,&amp;quot; Brierly said. More from Delish: Festive Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Pregnant Women &amp;quot;The first time I picked something up was when I drove past a perfectly good pheasant,&amp;quot; Brierly recounted. &amp;quot;I took it home and marinated it in olive oil for four days before I made a kind of Kentucky-fried pheasant dish.&amp;quot; But Brierly, who is due to have a baby boy in February, does not spend her days trolling the highways for pheasants, hares, pigeons, rabbits, owls, or partridges (her typical choice meats). She mostly gets her &amp;quot;groceries&amp;quot; by way of tip offs from friends, whom she rewards with dinner parties featuring a roadkill roast. More from Delish: Prefixes for the Prenatal Eating roadkill is a delicate art. Foragers have to make sure that the animals they find are healthy. Brierley takes extra precautions when handling the carcasses and always wears gloves. While it&amp;#039;s not for everyone, roadkill consumption is one way for guilty carnivores to assuage their consciences. According to Food Safety News, PETA says that, &amp;quot;If people must eat animal carcasses, roadkill is a superior option to the neatly shrink-wrapped plastic packages of meat in the supermarket.&amp;quot; Would you eat roadside raccoon if your growing baby wanted it? Or would you prefer some Kentucky-fried pheasant? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
