Ok, what exactly is a hedgehog?

Roadkill
Yup....Spiny small thing that is much abused, They are really stupid and hide in the base of bonfires to be, they cross the road, never to get to the other side. they look like litle brown porcupiny pigs. and they are ridden with fleas and ticks...

But they are cute........Google it! Hugs Jxxxxxxxxxx

Exactly?
What is it with you and Zah and roadkill?

I believe that hedgehogs can be roadkill. All I can really tell you is that they have hair that sticks straight up, like mine and Jackie's.

And.......
Some pet shops sell them as pets...

A Porcupine by any other name.....
A hedgehog is truly a real mammal, and yes, related in looks and temperament to a porcupine. I suppose, depending on where one lives, it could be roadkill...perhaps, as she had a recipe immediately on hand, our Tasha is the owner of a Roadkill Cafe~"You Kill em, We Grill em".....

Hugs,

If any of you have ever seen
If any of you have ever seen the Disney movie version or any other of Alice In WOnderland, it is the creature that they used to play croquet. The flamingo's were the sticks and the hedgehogs were the balls. Because like someone said they curl up into little round balls.

I believe
one can substitute hedgehog in the porcupine recipe in "Joy of Cooking" (1975 edition, p 515). Here it goes: "Skin by hanging back legs from hooks. Remove kernels in small of back and under forelegs. Hang in a cool dry place 48 hours. Soak overnight refrigerated in salted water:
1 porcupine
In the morning, bring this water to a boil. Drain and immerse porcupine again in cold water. Bring to a boil and again drain. Place the meat in a Dutch oven. Add:
3 cups water or light stock
1 rib clery, chopped
1 sliced medium-sized onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Simmmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours."

The recipe preceding porcupine is for Opposum. It states: "If possible, trap 'possum and feed it on milk and cereals for 10 days before killing..." Shades of Hansel and Gretel! I would continue typing the recipe, but it's pretty gory. I kid you not. :} Lynn

Guessing that I, Jeanne, and Kristin go to the back. Failing Hedgehog class. Oh well, generic roadkill is sounding better all the time.

OMG!
Sonic......Yes, it did look more like a cat with a spiky hairdo!

I started something in the chat room the other night....Roadkill casserole!

We had Possum Pie, Ratburgers, Mouse and mushroom dips, Rac oon risotto, Snake souffle and Roasted ptarmigan.......It was a FEAST! Mmmmmmmm LOL

Hedgehog vs snake
I was mowing the golf course greens when I saw a hedgehog and a snake fighting it out.
I must have stood there for 15 minutes watching them. It was amazing.. The fought to the death!
