Not quite, but I do have a recipe for "Field Mouse Pie".  I'm sure other
rodents could be substituted:


	F I E L D   M O U S E   P I E 

(_Yankee_, February 1981; reprinted in _Inside New England_, pp. 66-7)

	5 fat field mice   (may substitute sausages in cold weather)
	1 medium can tomatoes
	1 cup cracker crumbs
	1 cup macaroni
	1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

Boil the macaroni 10 minutes.  While it is cooking, fry [cleaned] field
mice long enough to try out excess fat.  Grease casserole with some of the
fat and put a layer of macaroni in it.  Add onion and tomatoes, then salt
and pepper it well.  Add field mice and cover with the remaining macaroni.
Sprinkle the top with cracker crumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter.

Bake at 325F for 20 minutes or until mice are well done.
