ROME - Italian state TV has suspended a cooking show host who shocked the nation by saying cat stew is a Tuscan delicacy he swears he has enjoyed many times.

RAI TV confirmed on Wednesday that it had suspended Beppe Bigazzi, the 77-year-old host of a popular morning program that offers food tips and recipes in a country fiercely proud of its cuisine.

Shocked the nation? Which nation? Italy? I find that hard to believe - every country I visited in Europe joked about Italians being cat-eaters.

During WW II in Dalmatia the locals had to hide their cats from the occupying Italians. Or at least, that's what I was told by the elders.

It adds a purr-fect flavor to an otherwise bland marinara sauce.
