It was a lot of fun too, when the menu listed dormice and they saw those "tails" :-)  Well, you can imagine what some people thought.  Others did imitations of the TV series "V" and put the little bodies in their mouths whole..........

You could always do what a friend of mine did for a feast, make faux dormice from chicken legs.  We took the meat off of the bone and rolled them up to form small "bodies" fat on one end and narrow at the other so they looked like little rounded mouse bodies with out the legs and heads.  For some of them I left a bit of the skin on and pulled it to the fat end to hang off and when they cooked they shrivled up to look like the tails were left on.  Really grossed out some people, but was lots of fun.  Cooked just like the recipe from period, but not as difficult getting the meat.
