PERKIN, Ill. -- He lives in central Illinois, is two years old, weighs about three pounds and is the world's smallest cat. He's Mr. Peebles.



Tiny cat (http://www.wftv.com/news/3558819/detail.html)

I am not a cat lover, but this little guy is cute!

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Awww, what a cutie! Kitties are great -- but don't trust me, I'm an animal-a-holic. We just a few critters short of a zoo around here.

And just so's you know's, we eats 'em here too -- no PETA people at my house (well, that's not true we are PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals). No, we don't eat cats, LOL.

Sheesh, I just seem to keep diggin' my hole deeper and deeper, LOL.

[DesertFox]

Cute story. A cat lover doesn't care if he's small or large, of course.

Yesterday while walking my semi-poodle mutt, we met a black male tomcat stretching out on an azoysia-grass lawn. The cat was as big as the dog and not a bit afraid, but he tensed up to be ready in case the dog came after him. But my dog lives with two cats and has no problems with them. Pretty soon the too were pretend-fighting on the grass.

[Wolfcounsel]

I love cats. And barbecued cat on a stick is delicious!






Just kidding! Don't kill me!

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Shame on you Wolf! LOL

Kitties are fun, but definitely not like dogs. I have had my fair share of both -- amongst others. Currently we have 4 green tree frogs, a fence lizard, a Savannah monitor, a parakeet, a horse, a Jack Russel / MinPin mix, a rottweiler, and a suwannee tortoise (but only until we can get it to the wildlife refuge place on Monday). We lost our kitty two years ago to kidney problems -- so far no one has dumped another in our yard (yet), but that happens so frequently, I'm sure it won't be long before we have another.

[DesertFox]

Leesville, Louisiana, outside Fort Polk, fall of 1971. I's in training and regularly went to a restaurant in Leesville that served first-rate spaghetti and meatballs.

I showed up one Saturday afternoon for my regular fare, but the place was closed. Turned out they'd been shut down by the health dept for serving -- cat. They usually served it with spaghetti dishes.

Oh. RRRRRRRAAAAAAALLLLPHHHHHH!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon120.gif

I shouldn't have had that last beer and ice cream float!

[DesertFox]

All I can say is, I probably ate some cat and didn't mind it at all. I also did eat cat-on-a-stick in Panama. Mighty fine. So was monkey-on-a-stick and dog-on-a-stick.

[Timberwolf]

I prefer squirrel myself....tough to catch, though. Local LE won't let us shoot 'em in town, so ya gotta "fish" for 'em. Once ya set the hook, hang on! Those little buggers fight better'n a big bass. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

btw - the preceeding is a joke.

If I was a couple thousand miles closer, I could solve your cat shortage. I've got two that need to go away. One's 100% barn cat, the other is indoor/outdoor (just outdoor when the wife's not around).

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Faithful --
Oh I'm sure we won't be without one for long ... I think there must be an invisible sign on our fence that reads "takes in strays, sucker for strays, drop your unwanted or strays here", LOL.

We have had everything from piglets, puppies, kitties, birds, etc. show upon our doorstep ... the parakeet is a good example, just flew up and landed on our porch railing. We put up signs, even an ad on our local station trying to find the owner ... needless to say, Spike has been with us for several months now. LOL

Tonight's menu is
BBQ Cat-on-a-stick
Panamanian Dog-on-a-stick with a side of Monkey-on-a-stick
Fillet of Squirrel
And for our beverage a nice Heineken and Racky Road float.

homeschooler, we're all showing up at your house, so unless you want that turtle to turn into an entree. you might want to hurry up and get rid of it.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

ROFL, okay Wild Beast Feast at the PonsRUsA Farm, LOL!

Shoot, we get squirrel all the time around here. My son rescued two babies a couple of months ago, and we took them to the wildlife refuge. Guess I'm a hypocrite ... I can kill the adult squirrels, but can't bring myself to kill the babies.

Actually, that is an "event" around here ... Wild Beast Feast. You wouldn't believe some of the dishes on the menu (don't think I've ever seen cat though).

[DoctorDoom]

For the connoisseurs of fine feline dishes...

Years ago, when I lived in Richmond, VA, there was a little Chinese takeout place called the Silver Moon. I never ordered from them, as I had my own favorite places for Chinese already, but they were in my neighborhood.

They were closed down repeatedly, finally permanently, by the Health Department after they kept finding dressed cat carcasses hanging in the meat locker. The owners defended themselves, saying they did not serve the cats to customers - they were reserved for the family!

I used to have a big old Siamese who loved to lap up beer. Of course, he weighed 20+ pounds, so he could handle it well. That little 3-pound fella better steer clear of alcohol, he could end up one tight little pussy.

Dahmer ate the little retarded Phillipino boy's metatarsals with chop sticks. Like French fries, he lathered 'em with ketchup after deep frying 'em in the Wok.

You really should get the entire cookbook, replete with fanciful pictures. The flaming Poo Poo Platter is fantastic & the intestinal pasta is quite amazing. Head jerkey is a bit tough though. I prefer feet, a bit bony fer sure, yet the stringy meat falls right off those very bones if you decide to slow cook them in the smoker.

Its like there's a continual party in my mouth and everyone's invited. Every delectable bite guaranteed or your money back, less shipping and hands.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Sorry, Wyatt,
But that's just wrong, wrong, wrong and YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!

I'll stick to beef, pork, and chicken if you don't mind -- occasionally venison and fish.


Rink,
You are certainly right about the Heinz 57 aminals! Some of the best pets I ever had were regular "spots" and "fluffys." Right now our Jack/Min Pin (at least that's what the vet told us she is) is our only mixed breed. The rotty is full-blood, but she is a real sweetheart (unless you are a stranger, an unwelcome visitor, or a burglar ... then she's your worst nightmare, LOL).

[HarvickFan29]

I've got my own chinese restaurant horror stories. I think they served the employees (which one was me at the time) seagull and possum. The old chinese lady (couldn't speak any English) would corner anything she could out by the dumpsters. Anything that was edible became her prey.

[Estragon]

If it was possum, I think you would know it.

I only tried it once, when as a young man I went to visit a friend in the mountains of Greene County, VA. He was reading the law under an attorney in nearby Stanardsville, and lived in an A-frame cabin at the top of a mountain. He had power and a refrigerator, but no stove, and no running water or indoor plumbing. We toted water from the stream 50 yards away and used an outhouse.

There was a hippie couple a ways down the mountain, who, out of pity I suppose, invited Charlie to come to their house once a week for a home-cooked meal and a hot shower. After four days, I was looking forward to that.

The shower was great. The hippie chick served spinach pasta with possum sauce, and deep-fired whole wheat bread cubes with soy sauce for dipping. I had never seen green spaghetti before, but the possum taste was absolutely awful. I stuffed myself with bread cubes. Soy sauce never tasted so good.

[HarvickFan29]

Esty, EWWWWWWWW! That story left a bad taste in MY mouth!

[Estragon]

Well, you only had to imagine it; I had to eat it - at least enough to seem polite. I feel certain nobody will ever be able to slip any possum unnoticed into my food. I can't imagine that rat could taste worse.

The experience came back fully a few years ago. While driving my Dad {rest his soul} down a local road, I remarked to him how one particular stretch seemed to always have some sort of road kill.

He replied, "That's been so ever since it was paved. Right there where Donald's stepson lives now used to be the house of an old fella named Barton. He would go out and collect whatever got run over there and cook it. He didn't care if it was possum, coon, or squirrel. People said if he was out driving and saw something in the road, he would pick it up and take it home if it was fairly fresh."

"Thanks, Dad. I'm glad I asked . . ."

[Antigone]

If you think the stories about Chinese restaurants in the US are bad, DO NOT walk into a restaurant in China. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon120.gif

BTW: Pidgeon sucks!!

[Estragon]

Sounds like good advice!


RE: pigeon ~ Never tried it. But it's always a good idea to avoid anything the English like. I don't want any kidney or trifle, either.

[Wolfcounsel]

I've eaten roadkill before. Remove the pebbles and other stuff stuck in the carcass, wash, marinade for about an hour in salt and pepper, roast slowly, eat, enjoy. YUM!

[HarvickFan29]

Unless it's a dead cow, count me out! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon115.gif

[Wolfcounsel]

Don't eat dead coyotes either!

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Ya'll are workin' at killin' my appetite here, LOL.

We were talking about cute little kitties -- not eating them, LOL. Does anyone know the breed of dog that is the smallest? I know there must be something smaller than a chihuahua, right?

[Estragon]

You mean a chihuahua is a dog? I always thought they were a large breed of rat . . .

How about a REALLY small chee-hoowah-hoowah.

http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2004260820,00.jpg
Small but perfect... Star is the smallest dog in the world.

Meet Star - the chihuahua that fits inside a liquor glass and snuggles inside a boot instead of a dog basket.

The smallest dog in the world is 3 inches tall, 6 inches long and weighs 1 pound - a fifth of the size of a full-grown chihuahua. Star is 16 weeks old and stopped growing at five weeks.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Awwww, how sweet! I didn't realize that the smallest actually WAS a chihuahua! When I visited my parents in Jax one time this girl had this teeny white ball of hair that was almost as small as a very large rat ... it was completely white with long hair and jumped around just like a mini-rabbit, running all over the place. I never did find out what kind of dog it was, but it was the smallest dog I had ever seen. The lady said it was full grown too. That's why I thought there must be another smaller breed.

I'm just a sucker for aminals! (but that in NO way means ya'll can come dump more in my yard, please, LOL).

Don't think I have had rattlesnake. But, I have eaten alligator, and of all places it was in Phoenix. I just had a bite so that I could say I have eaten it. I've tried rabbit too. Fried.

One of my favs is deer meat, roast or steaks. I like ground buffalo too.

Has anyone here tried ostrich? What does it taste like? Please don't say chicken! LOL I see it all the time in the market I shop at but just havn't brought myself to try it.

Thanks for the spelling help HF29. I'm actually a really good speller, but some of those French words just foul me up every time.

[HarvickFan29]

No problem, FS!

No thanks, Rink. Snakes don't do anything for me. You eat all of it you like.

[HarvickFan29]

I got no problem with fat. We need a certain amount of it. The thought of snake just isn't vey appetizing to me. I'd have to be really, really hungry.

[Estragon]

I ate rattlesnake once, by accident. A buddy and I were driving through Texas and stopped at a little roadside place. This was in the mid-'70s. They had "Rattlesnake Steak Sandwich" on the menu, and I just assumed it was the name of the sandwich, like "the Whopper" or "the Killer Sub."

My mistake. Tasted slightly gamy, more like wild duck or quail than anything else I've eaten. Gave my buddy a bite, and he was sure it wasn't steak, so we asked. Unfortunately, we waited until we paid to ask.

He was driving as we left, and a few miles down the road, he turned to me and said, "You look kinda pale. If you're gonna puke, tell me so I can pull over." A few cold beers saw me through, though.

"Escargot" is French for big, fat-ass snail. Never had the desire to eat an insect. My college roomie once ordered them, one time when we were flush and went to a nice restaurant.

"Here, you just dip them in the garlic butter, and that's all you taste," he offered.

"Well, if all you taste is the garlic butter, I'll just dip some bread in it, thanks!"

[Wolfcounsel]

I love dried fried anchovies! I can eat them all day long like popcorn.

[HarvickFan29]

You guys are getting gross now. I like french foods but I won't eat a snail. I'm with Esty on this. Just give me some cow with garlic butter!

[Antigone]

Don't believe anyone who says rattlesnake tastes like chicken. It doesn't!

[tacitus]

Tasted pretty good to me when I had it in Phoenix, deep fried like chicken nuggets.

[Antigone]

Too each his own! As far as me... blech!

[Estragon]

No anchovies for me either. Seafood is great, but why eat the bait?

[DoctorDoom]

Snails are slugs with shells. Living snot. EEEEEYUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timberwolf]

What did one lesbian frog say to the other??

Damn!! We DO taste like chicken!!

On that note, I'll just say that I do enjoy Kipper snacks (herring) and smoked oysters.

[Estragon]

I like roasted oysters; never had them smoked. You can bet I'll never let a raw one slide into my mouth, though!

[Wyatt_Junker]

I discovered the steamed oyster approach at Dillon Beach. Bought about 40 of 'em at half a buck apiece. Now, pay close attention.

Steam 'em just enough to pop the lids up, then drive a knife into 'em edgewise and pry open. Then, place a slab of bacon grease, leftover from breakfast, into the cracked nook of each one along with a drizzle of whiskey and barbecue sauce. Now lower the lids back down. Finally, back into the steamer using some cheap, flat beer to boil the sonbitches with... then, wait till the bacon grease melts right in and yer done. No slurping required. Chew 'em up and enjoy.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Gator is good, although every time I've had it it's been chewy, and I don't like to work that hard to eat. Venison is the BEST! My husband's Gramma cooks the BEST EVER venison -- she soaks it in milk overnight, then has some secret spices/recipe, fries it up and it almost melts in your mouth! YUMMY!

Bubba has had goat, and says that's the best meat he's ever eaten. He has brought home Buffalo roast and ground Buffalo, but I didn't care for either of those -- way too gamey a taste (and smell peeuuww) for me. He said snake is pretty good, but not one of his favs.

Up until about 5 years ago I had never eaten oysters. We went to a BBQ at a friends house who had a couple bushel (it was a BIG party), and grilled the whole lot of them (had about five shuckers at this big table) --As long as they weren't slithery-slimey, I thought I would try one. Turns out they were great (especially on crackers with tabasco).
Like I said, the Wild Beast Feast is a regular event around here so you never know what someone is cooking, serving, or eating, LOL. (Course I ALWAYS ask before sampling).

[HarvickFan29]

Don't matter none. Ain't nothin' goes inta my mouth that looks like what ya find crawling out of discarded beer cans.

When we were kids we used to play with snails by putting them in those Fisher-Price plastic ferris wheels and riding them around. They were so slimey, and thinking back on it, I wonder how I could have done that. YUCK! Everytime I hear the word escargot, I think of those nasty things on that ferris wheel.

[HarvickFan29]

Smoked and raw oyster are awesome. I think the trick to oysters for me is keep them small. I don't like the big ones from Texas.

I love seafood but sardines, and anchovies are too fishy for me.

[HarvickFan29]

Wyatt, your recipe sounds good. I usually open them up and place a piece of bacon, and cheese with a splash of Tabasco sauce on top and broil them until the cheese melts.

HSRUs, I have eaten goat when I lived in Miami. I never will eat it again and I hate to smell it cooking. I had Haitiian neighbors and they would start cooking goat early in the morning so I'd wake up to that rancid smell all over the neighborhood. PEW!!!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

HarvickFan29,
Bubba said that they don't actually "cook" it ... what they do is dig a deep hole in the ground and fill with charcoal and wood, then light it and wait till it's smoldering. Then they put a wire mesh grate down on top of the coals and wrap the goat in some kind of cheese cloth and put it on the grate. Then they cover it with a thick layer of newspaper and fill the hole back up and leave it until morning. The next morning they dig it all up again, unwrap it and drown it in a special sauce and put it in containers. That night they fire up the smoker and put the meat on to heat it up, and it's ready for the party. Bubba said it was the best tasting meat he has ever had ... course, it might be he 'membered it so fondly because it was one of those rare times he got to spend with his Daddy, so it might just be a good memory because of that.

I've also eaten goat (not too long after the pidgeon). I have to stick with my rattlesnake assessment when it comes to goat......blech!!!

[Estragon]

No thanks on the goat. I'll pass.

HarvFan ~ Yeah, the oysters have to be the small ones. I bought a container of "Puget Sound" oysters once, figured there would be couple dozen in it. There were six. They were bigger than mountain oysters {and no, I don't eat those either}.

HSRU, whatever they do to it, STINKS!

Best, good to see you. It's been a long time. Thanks for getting us back on track.

My objection isn't to them burying the goat. I just wouldn't bother digging it up again.

Goat is pretty similar to venison, but without as much of the "wild" taste. If you've ever had farm raised venison or elk, it's not much different.

I want an invite to the next Wild Beast Feast. Prolly won't make it, but I want one to put on my wall for kicks.

[HarvickFan29]

I guess my taste buds are totally different but goat tastes nothing like deer to me.

[HarvickFan29]

I've had it cooked by Haitiians, and seen the ways they cook it. I don't care how it is prepared, it still smells terrible. My nose is trying to close up just thinking about it. I've personally cooked deer many ways and it tastes nothing like goat at all. No matter. We all have different tastes, I spose.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Faithful,
You'll git it, I promise! When the weather gets a bit colder, we crank up the smokers, BBQ pits, and grills. Dove season begins in October -- that's Bubba's FAVORITE time (also college football!! Go 'Noles!)

You'll get a big kick outta the invite, I promise. They're all like funky menus -- Road Kill A'la Mode, Stab & Slab, Possum on the 1/2 Shell, etc., LOL.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I been looking for a good duck recipe. I was supposed to make Duck l'orange for my Father-In-Law at Christmas one year (the year my son was born, 1989) and it actually SNOWED here -- my Dad came and got me because we had absolutely no power and he wasn't gonna have his grandbaby freeze to death, LOL. Never did get to try to cook the duck. Anybody got any good duck recipes? That would be a neat one for the Beast Feast, we've never had duck!

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

No I don't have Nuge's book -- that would be a KEWL gift for my Bubba though! Do they carry it in the chain bookstores, like Barnes N Noble or Waldenbooks?

A lot of it has to do with the age of the goat. What I've had might be better described as "kid" rather than "goat". It's probably a lot like the diff between lamb and mutton.

[Estragon]

Hey! What have you got against old goats?

>*sniff*< . . . just another example of intolerance . . .

[Estragon]

Nearly everbody. It's another sad case of 'scrimination against the tragic victims of satyriasis.


Maybe I should just "duck" the question? (http://www.hugs.org/duckdex.shtml)

[HarvickFan29]

Rink, every Haitiian I 've ever known has been a great cook. I learned many tasty tricks. I had the best fried chicken I ever ate in my life, and that's coming from A Southern woman who grew up eating fried chicken. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon2.gif

HSRU, we call possum on the half shell armadillo.

FS, that's two others I don't really care for either. I have eaten lamb chops, and leg of lamb as well as mutton but they have a peculiar smell when cooking too and usually if something has a non-desirable smell to me, it won't taste pleasant to me either.

[Estragon]

I could never stand the smell of lamb or mutton cooking, either, which is why I refused to try it. Mom used to love it, and often cooked it for my Grandmother when she stayed with us.

I like the smell of things I like to eat cooking. If it's gonna taste good, it should smell good cooking. I suppose it is possible something could taste better than it smells while cooking, but just how much better is it possible to get?

If I can't stand to be in the kitchen, I'm not going to run to the dining room table . . .

Don't know about a joke. Rink asked if anyone ever had duck, that was my reply.

Since I never had deer, I thought the duck tasted like chicken. I knew a lot of folks who went deer hunting where we used to live, and they ate it. Never asked what it tasted like.

Wild duck has a gamey flavor like venison. You should only eat pet ducks if you object to that.

Everything "tastes like chicken" if you leave the chicken out long enough . . .

If you ever fried dried fish, you think somebody's sweaty feet are stinking up the kitchen. But they taste great.

Okay. Back to the original topic. AWWWW! Cute kitty.

[HarvickFan29]

Wolfie C., to each his own. Don't think I could eat anything that smells like sweaty feet when it is cooking. I don't even like that cheese (can't think of name) that smells like dirty feet. EEEEKKKK!
