Australians cook up wild cat stew
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6974687.stm Australians have come up with a novel solution to the millions of feral cats roaming the outback - eat them. The felines are the descendants of domestic pets and kill millions of small native animals each year. A recent Alice Springs contest featured wild cat casserole. The meat is said to taste like a cross between rabbit and, perhaps inevitably, chicken. But wildlife campaigners have expressed their dismay that Australia's wild cat now finds itself on the nation's menus. Cat stew recipe Feral cats are one of the most serious threats to Australia's native fauna. They eat almost anything that moves, including small marsupials, lizards, birds and spiders. The woman behind the controversial cat stew recipe has said Australians could do their bit to help the environment by tucking into more feral pests, including pigeons and camels. But it was a recipe for feline casserole that impressed some of the judges at an outback food competition in Alice Springs. Preparing this unusual stew seems simple enough. The meat should be diced and fried until it is brown. Then lemon grass is to be added along with salt and pepper and three cups of quandong, which is a sweet desert fruit. It is recommended that the dish be left to simmer for five hours before being garnished with bush plums and mistletoe berries. Marinated moggie was not to everyone's taste. One of the competition judges found the meat impossibly tough and had to politely excuse herself and spit it out in a backroom. Wild cats are considered good eating by some Aborigines, who roast the animals on an open fire. This outback cuisine does come with a health warning. Scientists have said that those eating wild cats could be exposed to harmful bacteria and toxins. |

-------- PLUS, CATS COULD BE A MAIN SOURCE OF YOGURT ! --------
I picked up an article (following) from an old Louisiana newspaper that touches on this. I don't believe it. Have any of you seen, heard, or read of such crap? =============================================== GRETNA, La., April 11, 1996 -- Veterinarian Dr. Edward Kreiter told a stunned audience at the Southwestern Feline Conference today that two major U.S. food processors use cat vomit in some of their vogurt preparations. "Gastromicturates, a bi-cellular component of feline digestive tracts," said Kreiter, "has been found to enhance the fermentation process that is an essential precursor of finished yogurt. It is this component that is part of the vanilla and custard flavored yogurts - the lighter-hued varieties." Responding to a question from the audience after his prepared remarks on 'The Historical Significance of Felinular Domesticity,' the Baton Rouge specialist cited what he termed privileged corporate data that, he said, confirms a closely held industry secret. "I can't divulge the names of these firms at this forum," he continued, "however, I can tell you with the utmost certitude that large communities of cats - mostly mixed breeds - are maintained by these companies from which are harvested great quantities of micturate for use in the manufacture of brand-name yogurt." Attempting to calm audience fears, Kreiter stated that the amount of cat vomit per 4.5-ounce container of yogurt is minuscule, less than one part per hundred by volume. http://www.gretnasentinel.com ---------- |

Then, so have domestic cats that are outside roaming. I get news from Alice Springs, if it was true that someone there had served wild cat casserole, I would likely have heard about it. The bush foods contest isn't until next week, anyway. Aussies already eat camels (and serve them to tourists), and nobody much complains. Pigeons, by the way, aren't the 'rock doves' from the US, they're a different variety of dove. Cleaner, but still as ubiquitous. jmc I magine they are small scranny cats that are have real tough meat!
