Just learned from an online quiz that the cobra is India's national reptile.
Makes me wonder if we should have one. Gove perhaps?

I suspect the Indians adopted the Cobra to celebrate their traditional national drink.

_ _ _Regional animals are also fascinating. Hereford's emblem is not a Hereford bull but a lion, despite the fact that we ate the last lion years ago.
Nearby Ross-on-Wye are far more down-to-Earth with their modest emblem of a hedgehog. Who doesn't like hedgehogs?

I believe the gypsies have an excellent way to cook them- when they roll up in a ball you cover then in thick clayie mud, presumably then allow a little time for them to suffocate, then pop them in a bonfire. When you crack open the pot, all the prickles come away with the mud. Remember the outcry when some company brought out 'hedgehog' flavoured crisps, then had to add to the packet that no hedgehogs were injured in their manufacture.
