Edible Dormice: A Delicacy in Europe | May 29 2025, 20:44

Interestingly, it turns out there’s a species of mouse called the edible dormouse. The second word, edible, indicates that they were commonly eaten for a long time and were considered a delicacy, and they are still consumed today — in Slovenia and Croatia, though mainly during festivals. For example, in the suburbs of Rijeka (mostly in Kastav) as well as on the islands of Brač and Hvar.

Poor little mice.
