Hey Y'all,

I don't think I've ever eaten cat... with or without chile.
Horse meat up from Mexico maybe...  with salsa on flour tortillas. :-)
Horse meat has a dark redness in color that it doesn't lose completely when cooked.
Adds new meaning to the phrase getting a little pink.
I could be wrong.
Maybe it was Yak.
Maybe I was drunk and it was in a brothel in Nuevo Laredo and I was eating shrimp.
Anywhen.
Soon after reading the current tail twisting of the cat lovers on the list 
I was reminded, having recovered my mind just recently of a passage from
Charles Darwin's book The Voyage of the Beagle.
Which goes as follows:
 " We did not reach the posta on the Rio Tapalguen till after it was dark. At supper, from
something which was said, I was suddenly struck with horror at thinking that I was eating
one of the favourite dishes of the country namely, a half-formed calf, long before its
proper time of birth. It turned out to be Puma; the meat is very white and remarkably like
veal in taste. Dr. Shaw was laughed at for stating that "the flesh of the lion is in great
esteem having no small affinity with veal, both in colour, taste, and flavour." Such certainly
is the case with the Puma. The Gauchos differ in their opinion, whether the Jaguar is good
eating, but are unanimous in saying that cat is excellent. "

Who am I to argue with such genius and education??? Such a well rounded traveler, a person of such eclectic
taste, known to all and sundry. 
Here kitty, kitty.

Jose
