In Ireland, there is a popular way to have a baked spud (potato) ready for you at the end of a long trip.
Wrap up the spud in silver cooking foil and wedge it next to the hottest part of your exhaust pipe (muffler) under the bonnet (hood).
After about a fifty mile drive it will be cooked to perfection.
(Tip: If you're not going anywhere, simply drive round your own neighbourhood (block) for about an hour.)
A hedgehog (porcupine) can be cooked in the same way, only you should wrap it up first in wet mud. When you peel off the hard-baked mud the spines (quills) come off at the same time.
(Tip: Always think green, and keep back a spine to use as a toothpick (stick).)
