What a post.

I heard yesterday that some Chinese group got on a bandwagon against a restaurant over there that butchers and serves CAT as cuisine. Mmmm.

...why?

I mean, WHY eat cat? They can't be that starved over there. That was last resort dining in WWI Europe.

Why eat pheasant or quail? Small, pain in the ass to prepare...not that much different than cat. The only difference is that over here, cat is considered a pet, and not a food animal.

Pheasant and Quail is a pain in the ass, that's why I don't eat them. And the meat isn't as good usually, since game is... gamey.

But, the reason not to eat a cat is because cats are domesticate-able, eat rats and vermin which might have disease, and because they eat vermin, you tend to want them around, they are small and rather less meaty then a bird with large breast muscles, and LOOK AT DAT WIDDLE FACE! BOO BOO BOOOoooo....

Yes. Sentiment.

I never agreed with the French thing of snails and frogs either, which I gather is left over cuisine ideas from some of their horrid famines and inept governments leaving them having to become the master chefs of anything with protein. That's all very nice, but why eat a frog or a snail when you have better foods about you? Some people never get the idea to move "out'toe the ghet'to"

::shrugs:: I probably wouldn't eat cat myself, being the cat-lover I am, but I can argue for it. ::shrugs:: and besides. I was thinking more along the lines of things that look gross, but are really quite tasty.

Isn't it good? It's kinda like squid, but thinner and chewier. Woo weird-asian-food pride!
