made a cheese hedgehog but someone said he looked sad
i said he might be blind but was happy go lucky
i added pimentos for eyes and a smile
someone said he looked scary with the red eyes
my granddaughter added a ‘happy hedgehog’ sign
so that everyone would know his demeanor
someone said it looked like roadkill
after we began to eat the cheese part
no one wanted to eat its head or face
we all felt bad for it
the chances you take
when creating food art
that looks so realistic. )
—
‘if somebody thinks they’re a hedgehog,
presumably you just give ’em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs
and tell them to sort it out for themselves.’

thanks, the family clearly had a bit of fear involved in approaching this, but they should be used to it by now, as I love to create food art for most any occasion. and am a huge fan of nature, so -)

I definitely couldn’t eat the face either, and adding the sign was a stroke of genius.
Best wishes, Pete.

Looks festive and is probably delicious…it reminds me of a story though…when I first moved to the community I live in (30+ years ago), I was invited to a party and offered to taste the spam ball. It was a pink ball of cheese surrounded by crackers and I assumed I misheard so I said, “did you say spam ball?” My host nodded and well…it sure tasted good. Thanks to the background music, I misheard her and when I got to know her later we laughed about this story and from then on…the cheese ham ball became the spam ball, ha.
