Has anyone gotten around to telling you not to use cooked or dressed food
scraps in your compost pile? Raw foods only, vegetable matter only, no
meat, no fats, no salad dressings, etc.

Why not? I've composted lots of things including lots of cooked food and
also a dead chook (chicken in US speak) and had no problems at all.
Someone I know swears that fat is a real worm attractant and that worms
writhe and gorge themselves on fat from a commercial frying machine.
Can't see it myself but he swears that it's true.

That kind of thing where I live would have the compost pile full of raccoons
and possums.
