Cat Meat Recipies in Britain?

Question

Can any one let me know a restuarant using cat meat recipies. I came from the far east (but am British now) and miss cat meat in my diet. I know the cruel practice of cutting animals throats and allowing them to blled to death in agony is sanctioned in Britain to cater for the tastes of some ethnic minoroties so I assume the same goes for humanely killed cats for food

Answer 1

no one in a humane society would serve cat..

Answer 2

Cat lovers: Please turn to 'Garfield'

Now I don't want you to start in on me about today's question. I don't make these things up. People ask me stuff like this, and as best I can, I try to find the answers. OK?

And, if you are cat lover, I wouldn't read this one if I were you.

Maybe you should skip to the classifieds instead and try to find the Peanuts strip or Andy Capp. I get a lot of mail about those strips being hard to find in the classifieds. advertisement

Actually, I get a fair amount of mail from you people about all the funnies, which are something over which I have absolutely no control. Sometimes I wonder if you guys take the paper because every day we show you your world as best we can and it makes you wise and discerning and better-informed citizens of that world or just because you like to read the funnies.

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Anyway, here is a boiled-down version of today's question.

Are there some cultures in which people eat cats?

That's disgusting, don't you think? But the answer is yes.

In parts of China, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and India, apparently people do eat cats. I guess that's their business and not mine. And I have read in some detail about cat markets and cat preparation and so on. You don't want to know about it.

However, stirring Puff into the stew pot has not always been limited to the East.

I found a recipe for cat from 16th-century Spain. Do you want to read about it? Trust me, you don't, although I thought the sauce sounded kind of good.

Over the years, cat in some Western cultures has been a fairly common substitute for rabbit. I read something by someone named Sarah Hartwell that said the Spanish expression pasar gato por liebre, or to pass off a cat as a hare, sort of means to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

Charles Dickens makes at least one if not more references to people eating cats. And I read a piece that said that if you bought a meat pie in Great Britain during World War II when meat was rationed, you didn't ask too many questions about its contents, if you know what I mean. The phrase "roof rabbit" seemed to be involved.

Again, if you're a cat fancier, don't start in on me about this. I have a cat myself, and I would never dream of eating it, especially considering how much it owes me for food and veterinary bills.

Although that sauce I mentioned did sound pretty good.

Answer 3

As someone who has lived in Britain for seventy-five years I can assure you that I have never heard of a restaurant or anywhere else who would sanction the idea of using cats for food. This applied even in wartime when meat was severely rationed.
I am sure the Public Health inspectors would have any such establishment closed down immediately and if it became public knowledge I wouldn't expect it to remain open for any time at all.
I find the whole idea disgusting!
