I made this for my friend Dennis. He suggested that I make a porcupine themed lunch and I was very happy to oblige. When thinking about a themed side, I remembered when my grandparents dog, “Blondie” got some porcupine quills in her mouth. It was at their summer home in the Adirondacks. I must have been young when it happened since I only remember the quills in her mouth, not anyone taking them out.
