Road kill.

Do you have to pluck and skin the hedgehog?

Yes you do. You wouldn't want to choke on his many spikes. Nothing worse than going to casualty and trying to explain the small prick lodged in your throat.










What ?

Actually the best way to cook a hedghog is to roll it in clay and bake it in the embers of the fire (or in the oven if you're posh). Then peel off the clay and the spikes and skin come off with it.

Hedgehog spaghetti carbonara (serves four)

500g spaghetti, 30ml olive oil, 250g lean hedgehog, 1 medium onion (chopped), 125ml water, 60ml dry white wine, 4 eggs, 60ml double cream, 100g grated parmesan cheese · chop hedgehog into small chunks

· beat eggs and cream together in a bowl. Add half the parmesan cheese

· put pasta in boiling water

· put onions and hedgehog chunks in pan with olive oil on medium heat until onions are almost clear

· add wine and reduce heat

· drain pasta when cooked, combine it with egg, cream and cheese mix

· add meat, onions and wine without draining fat and mix thoroughly

· garnish with remaining parmesan. Serve immediately

That's going to taste DISGUSTING.

The pasta will either be overcooked, or cold. And the onions should be cooked, BEFORE chucking the hedgehog chunks into the pan.
