Gizzardfarm, what is a cat head bisquit?

I have had rattlesnake (yum!) and porcupine (eh) and love froglegs. Too dry here in southern California for many frogs, though.

Gizzardfarm, I would like to know what Cat Head Biscuits are too. My cats are over here getting very nervous.

I rabbit. I had it French style w/ Mustard and butter and wine. It was DELISH. I also froglegs. I can eat it cooked deep fried or made w/ black bean sauce, Chinese Style. YUM! I had snake soup before and it was Good. Never had the pleasure of eating the rest. Family members eat squirrels but I was not there for the feast.

Cathead bisquit in my country boys dictionary is defined as and I quote " A Big ole Buttermilk Bisquit about the size of a Big cats head. Best eaten with cow sauve butter (freshly churned) and apple butter." I guess thats just a local expression here.

Gizzardfarm, WHEW! Thanks for clarifying that. My cats are resting easy now. I Love southern food and I have never heard of that before. I figured it was a biscuit of some sort. Sounds Delish.

grizzardfarm.... Cathead biscuits were called that in OK when I grew up. Had an uncle who always asked me to "throw him one-a those catheads". Did you ever have Redeye gravy with ham & biscuits?

I guess I’ll have to set you folks straight on the Cat head biscuit.

A cat head biscuit is formed when you squeeze the dough on to the pan and it actually takes on the shape of a cat head.

Fried squirrel, gravy and biscuits with mustard greens and rutabagas are really close to heaven.

cottonpicker, I haven't heard anyone talk about redeye gravy since I left Oklahoma 40 years ago. We called ham redeye gravy and sausage blackeye gravy and usually made it with a cup of coffee. You guys need to try javalina, talk about varmints, if you can get past the smell while cleaning them the meat isn't half bad with enough chili pepper and garlic. Another fun one is coot meat, the first time my brother and I tried one of those we both about got sick. It taste like a fish cleaning station smells. 8)

Granny stirrin' up a pot 'o crawdads by the cement pond.

Default Homemade Bockwurst Sausage--picture

This is a great sausage with consistency of wieners. Good grilled or boiled then browned in butter or olive oil. The stuffer costs about $80 and makes sausage making easy.

Only thing I ever made was country pork sausage like my grandma taught me. Ground pork, sage, garlic, red pepper flakes for a zip!. Mighty good with fried eggs & biscuits on a cold winter morn. How do you eat the bockwurst?? Sauerkraut?? Beautiful sausages!! Looks & sounds deeelishus!!! Must be a "northern thing"???
