FRIDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER - ancient menu

ROAST hedgehog was once as popular a dish in Britain as roast beef is now, research by Welsh academics suggests today.
Researchers from Uwic have found that roasting hedgehogs was very common in Neolithic Britain (about 6,000BC).

Heard this item on the news this a.m. They look sweet but are covered in fleas.

Could they be tastier than cows or pigs? I reckon they won't catch on because supermarkets just won't be adventurous enough.

Also hedgehogs are rare today, it´s a pity if we should eat the few that are left...
