I don't have an answer to this except adding some parenthetical
phrase about "X has been substituted for dormouse". I suspect that
very few of your feasters even know what a dormouse is.
For a bit more info on dormouse (dormice?) see this file in the FOOD-
MEATS section of the Florilegium:
exotic-meats-msg (79K) 10/13/04 Period and SCA exotic meats.
Swans, ostrich,
crawfish, dormice, cat.
