Here's an ancient Anatolian treat. Here's the recipe, translated from the Lydian:
* Pisidian cat kebab a la Hacilar *
1 cat
1 knife (flint preferred)
fresh potter's clay
fresh aromatic herbs
1 carrot (scraped)
1 potter's kiln
1 mallet
Gut but do not skin cat. (This part is easier if you kill the cat first.)
Fill the abdominal cavity with fresh herbs.
Insert the carrot in the anal vent.
Arrange cat in interesting position and then completely coat with potter's clay to form a statue keeping as close as possible to the original outlines.
Allow clay to dry to leather-hardness. At this point the surface may be lightly incised to depict the cat's eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers, etc.
Fire in kiln.
Remove. Allow to cool somewhat before bringing to table.
Whack head of terra-catta statue with mallet breaking the ceramic shell.
(This by the way is the origin of the Mexican pinata.)
As the fur will have adhered to the inside of the shell, the cat will
emerge completely skinned and juicy-tender.
Serve with a green salad and plenty of fresh-baked bread. A simple rose goes best with cat however an unpretentious young red is also to be recommended.
Meow. Enjoy!
