Koroneburg Fest

[MadL]

A hedgehog be kinda like a large bilge rat stuffed on schnitzel 'n knackwurst then cover'd all o'er with porcupine quills.

'n as for the puss, I figured t' just call him S. Chum, I do....aye, that be a fine name....S. Chum

Now how can you not love a face like that..I would love a hedgey as a pet..

Hedgehog, it's not just for breakfast!

However, as every nation, Gypsies have their national dishes.

The specialty of the Gypsy's national cuisine is hedgehog. This is a very tasty and healthy dish, which one must know how to properly prepare. Small hedgehogs are used to prepare soup. The most delicious is stewed hedgehog with seasonings. The skin with the needles is flayed off, the meat is washed in water and placed into an earth ware pot, flavours are added and than stewed. The flavours are various depending on the individual taste of people. Romany like spicy food, but they also use wood sorrels, dills and blackberries. Especially healthy is to prepare food with hedgehog oil.

Now how can yea scurvy sea dogs eat a cute little strumpet like them hedggies?

[MadL]

Th' hedgehogs in Germany where nearly twice the' size o' th' one pic'd above, 'n they be a darkish brown with tan under bellies. Th' fur on their bellies be very soft, but watch the quills as they can hurt a bit. Very noisy eaters as well, I would buy mealworms at th' local pet shop then some in raw hamburger, then sit back and listen t' th' little bugger *smack smack smack* it all down!

I ha'e seen in Las Vegas that some shops sell hedgehogs for pets, 'n they have the albino ones like the pic above too!

....hmmm, a dash o' garlic with some curry sauce - Mmmmmmm

....oh, 'n No Mcdrago, t'was not me mean' at'll. Ye see, us pirates not be very imaginative when it come t' name make'n so th' best I could figure it, the 'S' would stand for 'Steve'

[Lady Alyx]

for yer entertainment...dat, dat dat dat, ta dah.....

Sorry folks, did not make it out to this event on the 24 due to the unsettled weather conditions. We did not want to take chances on rain or anything else the atmosphere was doing this past weekend. I hope for those of you it was good, it was nice over here at the beach it turned out but I don't know how it was inland.

[MadL]

'unsettled' weather?

I thought the weather had settled quite firmly throughout the entire weekend, solid clouds hung low t' th' ground all day
