[Sca-cooks] dormice

[Terry Decker]

Dormouse is an Old World rodent with a number of species across Europe, Asia 
and Africa and a number of taxonomic identies.  What you are after is the 
edible dormouse (Myoxus glis), a European species.  They are hunted in some 
places, protected in others, and the big kicker is whether they are 
permitted for import.
