If you're cooking old, tough cat, yeah. Cook longer. Or mince the meat
instead of cutting cubes. But I'm not advocating inviting your cats to be
guests of honour at a chilli cook-off .....
I just said to read them the recipe.
If you're going to actually make it - I'd suggest alley cat. Or substitute
domestic rabbit - other than the shoulder blades there isn't a lot of
difference in them once dressed for the pot.
We had a scandal back in the 1950s here when a ring of neighborhood
groceries were busted for selling "long tailed rabbit". As a result, all
domestic rabbit sold in Illinois grocery stores/butcher shops has to be
sold with the hind feet intact so the customer is sure he's getting rabbit.
I'm pretty sure I've had cat for supper, though. My dad often brought home
rabbit for my mom to cook for supper. He bought it from the grocer named in
the indictments as the ringleader in the deception.
That being said - I have a tortise shell rodent control officer which I
would be loath to put in the chilli pot. And I would not dream of depriving
anyone of a loved pet.
But, I reserve my right to keep my skewed outlook on the world, life and
the ultimate absurdity of political correctness. <GGG>
Besides, in a hundred years none of this will matter to any of us anyway.
ENJOY!!!
