The Week contest: Roadkill dinner
This week's question: A British couple posted an online job ad in which they offered to pay a chef $6,000 to cook a roadkill banquet for their wedding; the pair says traditional wedding food is "resource-heavy and results in so much waste." If a chef were to write a cookbook detailing how to turn roadkill into a wedding feast, what appetizing title should it have?
