You can eat hedgehogs, too; it's said to be very pleasant and not unlike chicken. However, the man that eats hedgehogs is up (down?) there with the man who shot Bambi's mother, so I can't honestly reccommend it!

Actually, if you're interested, you cover the spines with mud or clay and stick the whole thing in your camp fire; this saves you having to try and kill it when it's all rolled up. When it's cooked, you peel off the clay and the spines come off with it; you then ... er ... get stickty fingers, I suppose.
