Celebrity chef Beppe Bigazzi upsets viewers with his cat casserole

[Trot]

Beppe Bigazzi says cat is better than chicken

A top Italian food writer has been suspended indefinitely from the country’s version of the television programme Ready Steady Cook for recommending stewed cat to viewers as a “succulent dish”.

[Nervous Tick]

There's a cat in the kettle...

[Quix]

Succulent?

It’s not bad.

It’s nothing to write home about.

I don’t recall it tasting a great deal different than dog or even than chicken, for that matter.

The Chinese eat almost anything that wiggles and grows.

Maybe these would be worth a try:

Creamed Kitty, Feline Fries, Kitty Cat Kabobs, Pussycat Primavera, Kitten Krisps, Feline Fricassee, Kitten Cacciatore, Poached Pussycat, Feline Fingers, Felix Flambé, Pussycat Pizza, Kentucky Fried Kitten, Kippered Kitty, Curried Kitten, Chopped Cat, Kitten Chops, Pussycat Paté, Capered Kittens, Pureed Pussycat, Kitten on a Stick, Chocolate Covered Kitten, Kittens in Cream, Kitten Cappuccino, Kitten Compote, Feline Frappée

Cat, anyone?

[Suz in AZ]

I love Ready Steady Cook!

CAT... the “other” white meat?

[Question Liberal Authority]

I've had unwanted cats show up before. My basic choices are to feed them indefinitely, or hand them over to the humane society, who will gas them and toss the corpses into the garbage.

The chef wasn't recommending people eat cats. He was explaining how to prepare them so that they are succulent and delicious. There's a lot more to it than tossing the thing on a grill. And it's possible that knowledge will make you a better chef, even when cooking something more 'acceptable' like horse meat or dog.

I wouldn't expect anything less from a bunch of Godless heathens. Maybe, they should try each other. It would help with the overpopulation problem.

>> There’s a lot more to it than tossing the thing on a grill.

Yeah, cutting off the fur would be a great idea for starters. Burned cat hair... phew.

My “little precious” is sleeping on the floor behind me... glad she doesn’t know I’m on this thread, or she’d do her best to kill and eat ME.

Tongue got your cat?

[Kansas58]

You beat me to it!

Your cat is ALWAYS trying to kill and eat you. You're just fortunate that they're generally lazy.

A friend of mine used to work for a coroner. He says that whenever a dog owner dies at home and the body is discovered a few days later, they find the dog whimpering next to the deceased. If it's a cat owner, they always find the cat eating the owner's corpse.

Let's be careful out there.

[Quix]

They did that during the Cultural Revolution, too.

It’s predicted that Americans will be eating aborted babies and helping dying loved ones die earlier so they can have a meal in the coming famine.

The Chinese are a precious people whom I love dearly . . . with a greater emphasis still in some areas on relationships. . . much more than Americans have left, by a long shot.

People are pretty much the same the world over. The heart of man is the problem. And that’s the same everywhere.

[Nervous Tick]

>> If it’s a cat owner, they always find the cat eating the owner’s corpse.

Yep, practical and resourceful. That’s how I like my pets. They’re also good with sweet and sour sauce.

[Bean Counter]

That is one of the funniest things I have seen posted here in years!!

My guts hurt from the howling...

[Question Liberal Authority]

If you want a friendly pet which is good eats, I hear you can’t go wrong with guinea pig.

[CORedneck]

I thought I taw a putty cat, I did, I did taw a putty cat LMFAO !

[Trot]
