kitty fritters?

Well, first maybe some kitty cat stew. I supposed if I was starving out in the middle of nowhere and nothing else to eat that "here kitty, kitty" might take on a whole new concept.

A top Italian food writer has been suspended indefinitely from the country's version of the British television program "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.
