I must remind my potatoes of how good they would be in a stew. They are so cute and chubby!

    In German it’s cutely named Siebenschläfer (seven sleeper). Cause it’s hibernating for approx 7 months, or just a lot.

    Glis Glis, also known as Fat Dormouse!
    They can almost double their weight before hibernation. Of course something with that much fat is tasty haha

    A delicacy in Ancient Rome! If you wanted to show off your wealth, you’d weigh the fattest dormouse you could get in front of your guests before serving it in a fancy dinner. The fatter, the more impressive!
