Cover Your Ears If You’re Prickly
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
After recent thoughts about interesting flavours of things (and the ones that aren’t locally available), I remembered the ultimate in peculiar flavours...
Hedgehog flavoured potato chips. Or maybe that should be crisps, seeing as it’s such a quintessentially English idea.
The first time I came across these, I was quite concerned that they might be made with real, genuine hedgehogs (it was a long time ago, in (flimsy) defence of my gullibility). Although I’ve still never been able to bring myself to track down a packet and try them, just in case!
Walkers (who were responsible for the hedgehog crisps in the first place) are still trying out new ideas... Cajun squirrel was a hilarious thought. If only because somewhere, in the backwoods of the deep south, beside an alligator-infested swamp, somebody shot a varmint and thought of a tasty way to cook it...
And now they're at it again!
This might be the only hedgehog inspired thing I’d like to eat...
