I believe the edible dormouse was brought to england by the Romans, who saw it as a delicacy. There aren't any in the Goodwoods catalogue - maybe there's a catalogue for exiled and hungry Romans that might have them. Maybe that's where the idea for pink sugar mice came from originally? Though I think they'd probably taste better done fried in batter like fish, or Mars Bars. A bit like crunchy scampi... Naah, stick to Marmite soldiers.
