ROME (AP) - Italian state TV has suspended a cooking show host who shocked the nation by saying cat stew is a Tuscan delicacy he swears he has enjoyed many times.
RAI TV confirmed on Wednesday that it had suspended Beppe Bigazzi, the 77-year-old host of a popular morning program that offers food tips and recipes in a country fiercely proud of its cuisine.
When his 27-year-old female co-host looked stunned as Bigazzi said he has eaten cat stew "many times," the white-haired, grandfather figure defended his tastes.
"Why, people maybe don't eat rabbit, chicken, pigeon?" Bigazzi said. He could have added horse meat, which many butchers and supermarket meat departments stock.

Y'all would DIE if you worked with my staff. Most are from the far east. The simple fact is some cultures eat animals we American's would never consider. Just because "we" don't do it does that necessarily make it wrong.

Re: Cat Stew - Soo meaty...
"Here at Felix Haus, all our cats are free-range. No additives, no filler, no artifical growth hormones and the like. In fact, we like to think of our meals as fresh like grandma used to make. So we encourage each diner to pick their kitty from the large cage we fill from the herd each day before meals"ph4ever wrote:Actually I have a taste for Tortoiseshell with a Cabernet SauvignonRinglingRingling wrote:would you like Calico, or Siamese? we have a lovely Pinot Grigio that goes well with it...ph4ever wrote:STOP IT!!!!

Growing up, I lived in South East Asia for 3 years.....the beef rarely was beef, and the chicken was just as apt to be snake .....I've never knowingly eaten cat, dog or monkey, but am sure I have.
