Jane Sargent asked "I wonder whether the Roman recipes would work with our native critters." I don't see why not. If you Google for information about the various species of rodent, you'll discover that historically a lot of them have ended up on the dinner table. The idea of eating them brings to mind the old saying "it was a brave man who first ate an oyster". If you try it, Jane, let us know how they taste.
