It seems cute until you realise that he has 6 million brothers and sisters.

Yes, very true, but I just wish that their birth-rate could be controlled, rather than seeing them killed inhumanely... I know I'm a softie for anything that's furry and has four paws.... or hooves.....or trotters.

Cats used to do a good job until their owners got civilised and started with the collars and tinned food. Mind you cats tend to kill mice inhumanely.

Don't you mean 6 billion.

I've recently had 6 million of the blighters in my house.

Stuffed Dormice / Ancient Rome
Prepare a stuffing of dormouse meat or pork, pepper, pine nuts, broth, asafoetida, and some garum (substitute anchovy paste.) Stuff the mice and sew them up. Bake them in an oven on a tile.

Farley Mowat also gives this innovative arctic explorer's recipe for souris à la crème.

Mice in Cream (Souris à la crème)
Skin, gut and wash some fat mice without removing their heads. Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the sautéed mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.

Sounds like a gourmet's survival meal to me.

So you could invite us all round for a PC Review slap up barbie at hardly any cost to yerself
