Greeney in France · Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 9:52 pm Post subject:

They use it for both, I dont know why the hedgehog though apart from the fact they are everywhere and they get fed up with them, the road is full of dead ones. Knowing the french they probably eat them Rolling Eyes

No wonder there's so much famine in the world with you fellows wasting good food. I recently paid £7.50 for a few snails in garlic sauce at a local restaurant, they were delicious: and as for hedgehogs... if you cover them in a thick layer of clay and bake them in the embers of a fire, crack open the clay covering, you will find the spines all come off with the clay and you have a delightful snack.
You only have to look at the burly, healthy 'p*key' (who were probably weaned on hedgehog) to see the obvious benefits of such a diet. Wink

Tell you what pigtin,you can come into my garden any time you wish and help yourself for free to any amount of snails you wish to collect.

If you manage to collect every one of them I will supply a delicious garlic sauce for free Laughing

That's an offer I may well find difficult to resist Greeney. As well as the garlic sauce could you perhaps cook them for me? I've never been domesticated and can't cook myself... Wink

All this talk about food got me confused, sorry 47p2.

Greeney! don't do this to me... I can almost taste them and I'll not be in France until the 21st. They really have ways of making pests palatable and the way they do Lapin is out of this world. Shocked

I think that when I do finally move to France I will adopt the language, and many of the the customs, but not the delight in eating pond life I'm afraid.

My ancestors moved from France to England in 1415 and their strange habits have never quite been bred out of me. Confused

I think it may well be time to move back!!!

I hope my pet frog , Arnold, dosen't get wind of this thread. I will not be able to face him again... Crying or Very sad

Talking about hedgehogs, I made Harry the Hedgehog last week.

Hi

I made him on the floor infront of the Ford, I was so careful I picked every nail up, probably have missed a few, so half expecting a puncture of two! He has also shed a couple of spines already. Laughing

hehe

Cheers

coincidentally, we spied our first hedgehog at this place this evening, quite a large chap, wasn't expecting to see him out and about in the daylight. I hope he doesn't read this thread..

Rick. I hope it wasn't "Spiny Norman" the hedgehog that gave Dinsdale Pirahana so much grief. If it is... be very, very afraid. Dinsdale was. Laughing

Hi

Leave a little mushed up dog meat on a plate in the garden at night, and see what comes, you will either get Hedgehogs or the fox.

Cheers
