That's why there isn't a word for cooked cat in French.




It's actually Chinese. #87, I believe.

Ok.

There shouldn't be any term for cooked cat because cats should never be cooked. Cats are Gods, end of. Karma is a b!tch, you know. That's all I have to say for Chinese for eating cats.


What do the French call cooked horse, then?
