The taste is quite like badger actually (and I'm not jesting). If you handle a few roadkill, or try skinning one, you'll discover that they've a distinct badger smell - this smell comes through in the taste of the meat. Apart from that, they're quite like pork. I've tried 'wild boar' pork, and found it slightly stronger than 'farmed' pork. I'd liken badger to 'wild boar' pork.
When I picked him up, I noticed some of his dung at the side of the road - it contained alot of seeds from sloe berries - he must have been eating the windfalls.

Zek.
