You are talking about the Romany way of cooking 'hotchi'. My late father had cooked and eaten this. You take a dead hedgepig, cover thickly in clay, and bake in a hole filled with charcoal for a certain time. When it is done, you peel off the clay and the spines come out with the clay. I have an aversion to eating any other carnivorous animal so have never tried it myself. But I guess my Rom' blood has been well and truly diluted so I can excuse myself :0) I still have some habits which originate from my forebears though which I tend to adhere to. |

Seling lucky heather, pegs, and the like is not suspect or illegal or anything else. Simply they use what they can to sell to make a little money. Or at least that's the way it used to be in the olden days. |
