Celebrity chef Beppe Bigazzi upsets viewers with his cat casserole
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”.
RAI, the public broadcasting network, said that it had dropped Beppe Bigazzi, 77, for offering the recipe on La Prova del Cuoco, which is broadcast at midday on the main channel. Its switchboard was inundated with complaints from viewers and animal rights groups. Bigazzi said that casserole of cat was a famous dish in his home region of Valdarno, Tuscany.
“I’ve eaten it myself and it’s a lot better than many other animals,” he told viewers. “Better than chicken, rabbit or pigeon.” He said that for optimum flavour the meat should be “soaked in spring water for three days” before being stewed.

"Eat me!"

That's a good way to get rid of the danderful moggies. Thanks for the idea!
I guess all the folks who called in to complain had better stay away from Chinese restaurants.
This reminds me of an episode of "NYPD Blue".
The undercover guy was working, trying to find a gang tat was mugging winos for their gub'ment checks. He's sitting in an alley with a bunch of guys and one of them offers him something to eat. He takes a bite, says, "...HEY, that's good, wha'dizit, chicken?"
The other guy holds up a collar and says, "...MEOW...".
OK, so this guy is 77, that means he was just a kid during WWII. I'm guessing he had plenty of opportunity to eat cat back then. And by the way, remember what Alf said, "The only good cat, is a stir fried cat! Here Lucky, Lucky, Lucky."
I never could understand why some people get so upset at eating a pussy. Sure i've known some guys who threw up, but nobody ever died from it.
No, no, no Anonymous - your thinking about the kind that tastes like fish. This is the kind that tastes like rock dove.
Cat is meat .. whats the big deal? In NJ there is a feral cat problem in a lot of towns. We also have a lot of people living in poverty. I smell a solution!
There are lots of recipe possibilities.
BLT?
Bacon, Lucky and Tomato!
Would you like Catsup or meow on that BLT?
And, Alf - you forgot the big "HA! I kill me!"
BLT - the purrfect sandwich.
Missy, have you eaten cat?
In processing, the leftover cat bi-products make yummy dog food - the pooches go crazy for it.
Kittyliver is great sitting on a Ritz, (but it can be dry – try adding a little me-ow). These types of hors d'oeuvres are known as catnips. Add hairball soup, and you have the pre-meal appetizers for a hiss-torically fine dinner of milk-fed kitty medallions (Vealine). Serve over noodles with a rich gato sauce.
Vealine!!! ROFLMAO!!!
That's funny, I can't believe PETA hasn't come in here to complain.
Yeah Steve -
I've milked this one for all its worth.
:-)
How bout it MIssy,
Cat, Pussy, it all tastes the same.
