In eastern US cities 100+ years ago writers at times commented on "roof rabbit" meals.

Sure they did, gramps.

What does the "L" stand for?

It stands for Leeroy, which is his name.

I would guess cats taste similar to rabbit.

When my mother - who grew up in the 40s - bought deep frozen rabbit at the supermarket she always referred to it as "Polish roof rabbit", a term from my granny.

 I knew about roof rabbit. My great uncle lawrence does not share my profound feeling for cats in a non-culinary manner.

Still, this seems harmless enough. Cats are too fickle to serve man, which is fine, but it also does not afford them the moral bulwark against consumption dogs and horses enjoy.

Apparently the guy qualified his statement afterwards claiming it was something that was tipically done in rural Tuscany the 30s and 40s, when he was young.

In Spain we also have a saying that goes along the lines of "Serving cat instead of rabbit" (Dar gato por liebre), as it was something done by unscrupulous establishments back in the day.

Anyway, I think you'll be more interested to see a picture of the co-host of the show.



Pedrito, what happened to Antonella? Isn't she hosting "La prova del cuoco" anymore?

I didn't even know the show changed host, but this new one is, well, interesting What's her name?

Antonella Clerici right in these days is hosting San Remo's Music Festival, a big career jump for her - if it can be said of hosting a contest of crappy songs sung by old glories and X Factor celebrities, with the throwing in of the last heir of Savoia's dinasty singing the worst of them all

It's Italian TV after all, there's no shortage of eye candy thrown around.  It was a nice incentive to watch it when I was learning the language. 

About the new host, her name is in the article:

Bigazzi claimed cat stew was a Tuscan specialty near the Arno river valley, but co-host Elisa Isoardi looked so embarrassed she ducked behind a cart of fresh salad greens whose healthy virtues the two were supposed to be chatting about.
