The Hedgehog.
The Greeks willingly eat the hedgehog[XIX_110] in a ragoût—a dish the Romans never envied them.
The Squirrel.
This charming little animal, which ought never to please but when alive, often appeared at Rome among the most elegant dishes of the feast.[XIX_111] At first it was only eaten by caprice: unfortunately for the little animal, it was found to be very nice.
