Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I must remind my potatoes of how good they would be in a stew. They are so cute and chubby!
I think they were held in earlier times as a deliverer of meat, for people who lived in cities and didn't have the space to hold pig. I guess? It would make sense.
No they were literally a delicacy. It was thought that eating them would help you sleep better.
A delicacy in Ancient Rome! If you wanted to show off your wealth, you'd weigh the fattest dormouse you could get in front of your guests before serving it in a fancy dinner. The fatter, the more impressive!
Glis Glis, also known as Fat Dormouse!
They can almost double their weight before hibernation. Of course something with that much fat is tasty haha
In German it's cutely named Siebenschläfer (seven sleeper). Cause it's hibernating for approx 7 months, or just a lot.
Oh, there it is! Found my spirit animal!
I'd try a few, maybe I'm not getting enough dormice in my diet.
