I don't really like zucchini but in cake it's most excellent. Trust me, you wouldn't even know it was there. I made tomato cake once too.... can't say I liked it... too acidic and doesn't really go well with cinnamon or clove type spices.

I think the Edible Dormouse is a fair bit bigger than the hazel Dormouse. I'm sure I've seen a copy of a Roman recipe, and think it featured pine nuts. And probably fish sauce, they put that in every thing. It was a sort of salt substitute made of anchovies.
Edible Dormouse
"It was farmed and eaten by the ancient Romans (usually as a snack), hence the word edible in its name. The Romans would catch the dormice from the wild in autumn when it was fattest. The dormice were kept and raised either in large pits or (in less spacious urban surroundings) in terra cotta containers, the gliraria, something like contemporary hamster cages. They fed these captive dormice walnuts, chestnuts, and acorns for fattening. The dormice were served by either roasting them and dipping them in honey or stuffing them with a mixture of pork, pine nuts, and other flavorings. It was however very important to upper-class Romans that the dormice be separated from other products of the hunt, like the large game, for presentation purposes."
Baked dormice:
"Stuff the dormice with minced pork or the meat of other dormice chopped up with herbs, pepper and pine nuts. Sew up the dormice and cook in a small oven."


"The starters were served. On a large tray stood a donkey made of bronze. On its back were two baskets, one holding green olives, and the other black. On either side were dormice, dipped in honey and rolled in poppy seed."

"Stuff the mice with minced pork, mouse meat from all parts of the mouse ground with pepper, pine kernels, laser, and garum. Sew the mouse up and put on a tile on the stove. Or roast in a portable oven."​
