I'm pleased to say that the 1988 English translation of 1985
French Larousse
has no mention of
cat as a comestible.
It is a wonderful and exhaustively complete reference to (cat free)
cooking. The recipes are not
recorded in instructive detail, as such it is not the place to learn the
fundamental or advanced techniques of cooking. (Consider Mastering the Art
of French Cooking volumes I and II by Julia Child.
Again, there is no mention of cat or chat. Cast iron is followed by catalane,
chasseur by chateau. No cat. I'm glad, I like my Larousse, I would not
want to have to toss it.
