9, door mouse.
I hink I have heard the Romans brought it in, I hink it used to be called edible doormouse

8. Ahhh Sweetpea, hmmm sorry but, it is the national, even RELIGIOUS, drink of the whole Germanic/Keltik/Frankish/Belgaic/Sachisch/Jutish/Wiking race.

And I have a million and one quotes to prove it.

Odin gave his eye to gain it, Tyr gave his hand to save it, Freya prosituted herself to keep it, Odinn killed Baldur to steal it, Mimir was beheaded to produce it, etc, etc.....

THEN we start with the Keltik God's. Pryderi......

10 Nuts!
