Edible dormouse known in zoology as Glis glis is a uniquely European creature .
The Romans used to fatten them with a special diet before cooking them . Seven inches long with a seven inch long bushy tail .
The edible dormouse has lost favour since Roman times , perhaps because it reminds us that a squirrel is just a rat with a bushy tail.!
( Are you aware that an adult platypus is only about 10" in length fully grown ..I was really surprised too .I always thought the " little" platypus were the babies .
Recipe For Stuffed Dormouse.
" the dormouse is stuffed with a forcemeat of pork and small pieces of dormouse meat trimmings , all be pounded with pepper, nuts, laser, broth.
Put the dormouse thus stuffed in an earthen casserole, roast it in the oven , or boil it in the stock pot."
translated from the Latin by Joseph Dommers Vehling.
