Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004How to cook mice and birds ?
My cat always brings them to me , but I don't know good recipes... One of the Iron Chefs poured Coca-Cola on chicken before baking for around 45 minutes at approximately 350-400. It's supposed to make a heluva barbecue sauce. I don't know how well it works on mice. they've neve been featured on Iron Chef. Blessed be, Baha > My cat always brings them to me , but I don't know good recipes... i just dump them in the cat-food bowl... if they eat it, good, if they don't it gets binned... this is how i teach them the things they catch *are* for eating... the injured but live mice go back outside to crawl away or get dealt with in round 2.... i always thank the cats for presents, and tell them what clever pussies they are... they managed to pull a very much alive and amazingly uninjured woodpigeon in through the catflap once... i still don't know how... Morgan >My cat always brings them to me , but I don't know good recipes... Mouse should be served 'au Tartare'. Here's a recipe. Unfortunately, the recipe originally called for a pound of good beef, so you'll need a one pound mouse to make the recipe work. >2 egg yolks. >2 tsp. cracked mustard or Dijon mustard. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >3 tsp. capers, drained. >6 stalks parsley, finely chopped. >Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. >Whisk egg yolks, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >well combined. Adjust seasonings. Divide between >2 plates and serve with pommes frites. Regards and Purrs, O J > My cat always brings them to me , but I don't know good recipes... Mouse taste like chicken anyway... So fire up the Barby, skewer a few mice, onions and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with garlic, salt and olive oil. Sear the kebabs on high heat for a couple of minutes and continue cooking on medium until mouse is cooked. Oh yeah, save some for the cat.  SignatureB.S. Who likes BBQ'D Troll An excellent idea. I would marinate the kebabs in an orange-ginger sauce, or brush with KC masterpiece.

That does it, I'm off to the curry place for some Vindaloo. > Blessings, > Baha [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > Who likes BBQ'D Troll Mouse Biryani, a curried rice dish, would work well also. The curry, almonds and currants would offset the delicately gamey flavor of field mouse with a delightful balance. blessed be, Baha > > An excellent idea.

One of my favourites. > blessed be, > Baha [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > > > Who likes BBQ'D Troll Mouse would be a nice addition to samosas as well. The small, hors-d'oeuvre-y quality of the average mouse would work well with the usual samosa fillings of potatoes, peas and onion, and again work well with their typical spiciness.

The fat one here likes cold mouse tartare. Last night she put her foot in a cold and wet offering of mouse tartare left by Francis. He'd regurgitated, sorry, prepared it a little time before espcially for her. I could tell she was thrilled as she immediately danced around the house with accompanying squeals of delight. She went to speak to her friends Huey and Bart via the big white telephone in the bathroom. They must be deaf, though, as she was shouting their names out very loudly. Purrs, Waffles (human note: - no, I really, really didn't appreciate being left a regurgitated, partially-digested mouse right on the spot where, in the dark, I put my foot before climbing into bed.) --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- Ahhhh, mouse tartare!

The mice of course would be of the highest quality. I wonder if Kobe Mice exist. Forgive me for the Iron Chef newsgroup is basically dead so I couldn't resist going off on an IC tangent. Suz Macmoosette Thank Heavens There's Only One =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= Waiting for inspiration. Please hold while I contemplate my navel. |\__/| (=':'=) (")_(") Tokyo X mice, I should think. I'd love to see Hosoki-san the fortune-teller: "This looks perfectly awful, but the taste is quite nice!" Such a wordsmith, that good lady. Allez cuisine!!! Blessed be, Baha > >Ahhhh, mouse tartare!

But don't be surprised if the cat will have none of it! Many of you have mentioned your cats liking scrambled eggs, but Mélisande certainly showed only momentary interewst when I dropped a large forkful on the floor during breakfast this morning! (I think it was the pico de gallo salsa and/or the melted cheddar that she objected to, though.) > >>My cat always brings them to me , but I don't know good recipes... > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > morning! (I think it was the pico de gallo salsa and/or the > melted cheddar that she objected to, though.) True, even Smokey the moocher has her dislikes. Pretty much any fast food (sausage, hamburgers, tube steaks) should be buried quickly if offered. Beef and chicken are acceptable, as long as they're not too hot and are not over cooked. Smokey says no Pork products, she's kosher. Of course you all know about her cheese addiction. But the cut of meat also seems to matter. We cooked a chicken on the rotisserie (BBQ) yesterday, which always gets Smokey up on the seat of the chair behind me. You see this nose peaking out under your arm and the occaisional paw trying to reach the plate. So we gave Smoke a few pieces of breast meat, but she came back for more. So I gave here a piece of my leg, but she wanted no part of it. Offered her some more white meat and she gobbled it right up. |
