In vietnam some places will offer the special "Little Tiger" disk to
foreigners and not explain to them that the dish is practically cooked

cat.
Unfortunately when you are served you cannot tell it is cat and the

meat
is
confused for venison. This dish is commonly served in Can Tho, Bien Hoa

and
sometimes Ho Chi Minh City.


Where exactly can I eat that ?
How does it taste ?


I imagine not so great, being a carnivore. And it's probably
relatively expensive.


According to members of the Louis and Clark expedition Couger or Mountain
Lion was the tastiest meat they had ever eaten. Until I read this, I too,
thought that carnivor meat was not good to eat. Nevertheless, I don't think
I would be inclined to eat cat meat (if I knew what it was ahead of time) on
principle more than anything else, being a cat lover.
