Many of us who travel to Asia learn to crave a good dish with cat as a
main ingedient. Most of the catering services do a superb job with our
feline friends. It is a real joy to sample the many delicious dishes served up
in exotic back alley cafes of Shanghai and Bejing. The smoked cats hung in the neon lit
establishments are like a beacon to the gourmets amongst us.

Finding these fresh and exotic ingredients at home may pose a few problems.


With recent regulations and the skyrocketing cost of vet care, procuring the basic
ingredients is no longer as easy as a quick visit to the local ASPCA. In the spirit
of quick and easy cooking tips to those who crave the flavor of a well cooked
kitty cutlet, cat kabob, or stir fried feline- I offer the recommendation of the following
ingredients to simulate some of the better cat dishes without the fuss and
bother of fur removal and gutting.



The Sambal Oelek sauce will do for your sinuses what a cup of turbo lax did for the
bowels of that "Dumb and Dumber" guy. That raw block of spam can be fashioned

as they are told their hors d'oeurve is composed mainly of cat pate.

Bon appetit!

Next week we will take a look at how man's best friend can be plainly delicious
as we explore the third world practice of grilling a pooch over an old 55 gallon
drum in Detroit.
