Cinnamon and sugary and softly mummified,
You never know just how to look through the all-seeing Horus eye.

Described by William Dampier, a 17th-century British pirate as "extraordinary large and fat, and so sweet, that no pullet eats more pleasantly".
Well, they were eaten as medicine for centuries. Not to mention as a paint and possibly for fires...
Cat mummies have been used as fertilizer too.
