It is always intersting to learn about other cultures...

Although cats are eaten in South Korea, it is more usual for them to be rendered into a "medicine" to treat rheumatism and arthritis. Unlike dogs, cats are not bred on specialist farms. This would not be cost effective when there are always starving strays. These are collected in sacks and, if lucky, are beaten to death with either a stick or hammer blows to the head. More commonly, they are boiled alive with herbs (sometimes after having their limbs broken to reduce their ability to struggle) until their flesh liquifies. The resulting "liquid cat" (known as "Goyangi soju") is then sold in small sachets. An average size cat, when cooked with dates, herbs and chestnuts, will produce 20-25 of these sachets.

We are gonna be millionaires.

That is great to know. The next time I go to Raleigh I'm going straight to Koreatown and buy a sachet or two at the drugstore. I always knew there was something magical about cats.

That stuff sounds nasty,,I think i'd rather suffer.Boiling things alive,,,,Done all the time,,,Lobsters,,,,Crabs,clams,oysters,mussels,,,are steamed alive.Probably not as action packed as tossing a crat in a pot though,,,Bon appetit!!!! Clay

The biggest problem I have with this recipe, is no one cleans the crat first. Rubbing on something with crat cr#p in it, does not appeal to me.

You should have seen the ingredients in Wolfer's cat lip balm!

And who cares if it doesn't really work. Just let the Koreans keep taking out the crats. We can use all the help we can get in foriegn climes. derf

Derf, we need a man of your vision and sagacity on this of the line. What do you say?

HK, I don't think they're rubbing it on.

How do you say "For INTERNAL use only" in Korean??
