Do you mean somtehing like this :

"Mice in Cream (Souris  la crme)
Skin, gut and wash some fat mice without removing their heads. Cover them in
a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or
sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the
mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and
fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and
6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce,
transfer the sauted mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes
before serving."

Sounds really, ahem, delicious. Remembers me of a discussion I had about
eating guinea pigs. Blergh.
