Novelty food - food that is pretending to be something else - was a feature of medieval fine dining. In a very modest example, beef meatballs are 'dressed' to look like hedgehogs, as they were depicted in medieval books. According to medieval bestiaries, hedgehogs carried grapes on their back to feed their young, and so a heraldic hedgehog is typically drawn or painted with grapes sticking to its spines.
