A Kent man is vowing to eat nothing but wild food he can forage, including road kill, for a year.

Fergus Drennan, 36, will gather his food within a ten-mile radius of his home in Broad Oak, near Canterbury, reports the Daily Mail.

He will be seeking out field mushrooms, berries, nuts, bark, herbs, plants such as dandelions and daisies, and even road kill.

Dead squirrels, foxes, badgers and rabbits he comes across will become his dinner and their skins used for clothing. Coffee will be made from acorns.

Mr Drennan, 36, will be living at home and has allowed himself the use of a fridge, freezer and cooker but will not resort to additional ingredients such as flour or eggs.

He hopes that by cutting out processed foods his overall health and well-being will improve dramatically.

"I did a month-long trial run where I only ate wild food that I'd foraged and felt absolutely wonderful for it at the end," he said.

"It wasn't as hard as I thought so I made the decision to attempt a full year eating purely wild food. When you are hungry, you look harder and always find something to eat."

Mr Drennan has been interested in foraging since he was a child and has learned to recognise what wild food is not poisonous to humans.

He is a successful chef specialising in dishes made from such food, but usually uses pasta and rice to bulk up meals.
