Edible Dormouse

Edible Dormouse.. It’s not often that an animal is named “edible”, and although it may seem rather barbaric, the truth is that in Ancient Rome these Dormice were deliberately bred in special farms. And when a celebration was coming near, they were fed with acorns and chestnuts and then served as a delicacy. Nowadays, this animal, also known as the “Fat Dormouse” inhabits central, eastern and southern Europe, as well as the Middle East.
