“TAKE ONE HEDGEHOG..”
The German gipsy reported to have been fined for eating a hedg’nog without an appropriate ration coupon showed an epicurean knowledge as well as the resourcefulness of his race, for, properly cooked, the hedgehog makes excellent eating, states the Manchester Guardian. According to one authority it can bo stewed, toasted, or roasted, but the best of all methods c/i' treatment (and the one usually adopted by gipsies in England) is to bake it in clay in a wood fire. When removed, the clay takes with it the spines and skin, leaving white tender flesh with an appetising flavour which resembles that of sucking-pig or spring chi cken.
