How to cook a catfish

Pa told me once the best way to cook a catfish.

First start with a big blue cat,

like the one in your bucket.

Take time to clean it well.

Now leave the eyes in, that be the best part.

After you cut it from tail to lips

Rip those guts out real damn quick.

Find a few steaming horse apples and stick’em inside.

Wrap it with thistle and a little rosemary.

Bury it at the bottom of a small fire pit,

get it lit,

after about three hours put the fire out.

Dig it up,

unwrap it,

put what’s inside on a plate,

and throw the cat away.
