Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Really special Kitty treat
I was out to dinner at my neighbour's last night, and we had trout, proper wild trout caught by my neighbour. It was absolutely yummy, perfectly cooked and pink like the finest salmon. I asked my neighbours if they would mind if I saved a bit for Kitty and Boyfriend, so they could experience *real* trout, and not just cat food that calls itself "trout and salmon." They did not mind at all, and saved some of their own for them too. I came home with a little plastic bag of trout and skin. Kitty could hardly wait until I got it into her dish, she was purring and headbutting all the time and scarfed it down. Boyfriend didn't have a clue. I put some in his dish and flashed it under his nose. He sat there in his usual dignified way - far be it from him to be so impolite as to barge for his food - but when he eventually decided it would be protocol to approach his dish he could not believe his taste buds! His head did not come up until it was all gone and the dish was polished. Unfortunately their breakfast this morning was a disappointment..cat food. Just ?%&8^ cat food.. Before I say goodnight, thank you to the person who sent me not only a Christmas card, but another showing a cat with a mouse on it's head, saying it was like Boyfriend's "don't wanna" expression. It was. You know who you are. I loved it. goodnight Tweed For thanksgiving, I gave the kitties a bunch of ham. They loved it, but were quite disappointed at getting cat food the next day. I don't feed them salmon however. I gave Imp salmon once and he made such a smelly deposit in the litter box i never gave it to him again. Phew!

Mine use the huge litter box that is the outside, so I can give them whatever might smell at the other end and never know ;-) They certainly loved the trout.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Kristi When I stopped in a little town in Utah a couple weeks ago, the restaurant was having a special on grilled salmon. And for only $3 more I could get a second salmon filet. So I ordered the salmon dinner and asked the waitress to just put the 2nd filet into a to-go box. Harri got grilled salmon for the next week, and truly loved it! Harri doesn't seem to have the problem that Imp does. She suffers no adverse reactions to salmon. Good thing, too - her normal poops are sometimes fragrant enough to almost peel the paint off the interior of the truck! Dan >> For thanksgiving, I gave the kitties a bunch of ham.

I laughed out loud at this story because last night I cooked Mahi Mahi and scallops for dinner. I was cutting the Mahi into bite size squares and looked around and had three of four cats in a circle around my feet. Lacey was going so far as to stretch her legs up the cabinet towards the counter. I was also cooking bacon to put with the scallops and turned my back to flip bacon. When I turned back I found Lacey on the counter. Lacey has *never* jumped up onto the counter before. They all got a piece of Mahi (Selena was unimpressed and didn't eat any) and only Lacey cared for scallops.

Mahi-mahi is a gamefish and is considered by some to be the best-tasting of all fish. It's also known as "dorado" and "dolphin" (not to be confused with the mammal of the same name).

How wonderful! I can imagine how good it must have tasted. Yummy trout! That IS a great special treat :) Smokey is trying to convince us to get him a turducken for Yule.

It's a turkey stuffed with a duck which is stuffed with a chicken. It takes a long time to cook as you can imagine. Paul Prudohme, the New Orleans chef, mentions it in his cookbook of Prudohme family recipes. Regards and Purrs, O J PS: I think a rabbit stuffed with a dove stuffed with a mouse would do nicely for Smokey. > A turducken is a special treat usually reserved for big family > get-togethers.

I'm glad to hear (from Jill's post) that the critters have been deboned before all this stuffing starts going on. :) (No wisecracks from the UK or Aussies!!)

Cajuns thought this up, lord only knows why. Maybe they were bored. http://www.gumbopages.com/food/poultry/turducken.html I dated a Cajun man (Ray) for 8 years and he couldn't explain it any more than he could explain deep-frying a turkey with oyster stuffing inside of it in a barrel out back. He only said it was delicious :) I wouldn't try deep frying a turkey at home unless you have good insurance and a proper fryer. Oh, and first dunk the turkey in the fryer filled with water so you know how much (or how little) oil to add so it doesn't splash out. Jill > I'd have to check my Paul Prudhomme cookbook, but there is oyster stuffing > added to the chicken inside of the duck inside of the turkey! Cajuns > thought this up, lord only knows why. Maybe they were bored. Or very hungry? I used to know someone who used to say, "I don't like to mix my critters". (Meaning, she wouldn't eat a dish that had two different kinds of meat in it.) This dish would have given her a heart attack! :) Joyce "jmcquown" <jmcquown@bellsouth.net> had some very interesting things to say about Turducken (WAS:Re: Really special Kitty treat): >I'd have to check my Paul Prudhomme cookbook, but there is oyster stuffing >added to the chicken inside of the duck inside of the turkey!

Maybe they were bored. They must have been bored in Saudi Arabia too. This recipe was discussed on another newsgroup I hang about on. Needless to say, it feeds quite a few.
