Oh, wow. All three of those sound interesting. I envy you. It sounds 
like a great trip. If this is the salt works i'm thinking about, they 
had some real grand plans about restoring it as it was in medieval 
times.

I've got only a tiny bit of info about eating dormouse in the 
Florilegium.
exotic-meats-msg  (76K)  2/12/04    Period and SCA exotic meats. Swans, 
ostrich,
                                        crawfish, dormice, cat.

I'd love to hear more about this. I suspect they were still a not often 
eaten item or a regional specialty though.
