    Today, the edible dormouse is still a traditional dish in Croatia, where it is known as puh, and Slovenia, where it is known as polh. In both countries, edible dormouse is a traditional peasant dish and dormouse trapping is an important event.

    The edible dormouse is very similar to squirrel, with a rich, greasy flavor and only a few mouthfuls of meat on each one. In Croatia, particularly on the island of Hvar, they are grilled over an open flame and served on bread. In Slovenia, they can be baked with buckwheat, or cooked in a goulash or stew. They can be difficult to find, and require a trip off the beaten path, but are well worth the effort.

    Wish my culinary tastes were more adventurous, lmao
