    The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

    First paragraph.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormouse

      The edible dormouse (Glis glis) was considered a delicacy in ancient Rome, either as a savoury appetizer or as a dessert (dipped in honey and poppy seeds). The Romans used a special kind of enclosure, a glirarium, to raise and fatten dormice for the table.[6] It is still considered a delicacy in Slovenia and in several places in Croatia, namely Lika, and the islands of Hvar and Brač.[7][8] Dormouse fat was believed by the Elizabethans to induce sleep since the animal put on fat before hibernating.[9]

        fucking elizabethans, no it can’t possibly be that they put on fat so they can —like— survive not eating; no it’s that the fat makes them sleep

        brains so fucking huge they needed corsets and collars for structural support
