...apparently, there is more than one way of doing it. Beppe Bigazzi, the well-known Italian TV foodie, would know. Beppe is one of our favourite TV personalities. He has a slot on the midday program on RAI 1, La Prova del Cuoco, which is basically a re-hashed version of Ready Steady Cook with knobs on. In his ten minutes he usually talks about regional Italian foods - the best salami one week, cheese another; he tends to prattle on endlessly while the presenter (a former Miss Italy) vainly tries to steer him in the right direction. Anyway, the other day, instead of keeping to the usual format, he decided it was time to share with the nation his favourite recipe for cooking...cat!
A famous dish in the Valdarno region of Tuscany, better than chicken or pigeon, or so he claims. It's casseroled in case you're interested. He has now been suspended following huge numbers of complaints, which is a real shame - we spent at least an hour last night wandering around San Lorenzo with a fishing net looking for dinner...
(don't worry, that's not cat he's holding)
For the full story (or The Times' version of it) look

That is SO not funny! Humph! Maurice is not amused...anyway, you can't catch a cat with a fishing net; you'd need a proper cat trap.
ReplyDeleteApparently grey cats taste best
ReplyDeleteYou know you have a bite waiting for you here from Maurice after that comment!?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're getting into the Italian daytime TV (I am not going to comment on your culinary tastes!)
