If you find yourself staring hungrily at your neighbor’s dog, it’s a sign that you need more protein in your diet.
Do not I repeat DO NOT give in to temptation and actually make paella out of your downstairs neighbor’s beloved Fido.
Would Fido be delicious? Perhaps. But it’s not about that.
Think strategically: You might someday need your neighbor’s help in escaping from the repo men, and you want to be on good terms if possible.
Eating your neighbor’s cat, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable in times of crisis. Cat paella was a postwar classic in Spain. And in Italy they eat gatto in humido, a sort of cat stew.
And by all means, please just eat a fucking horse already. They’re delicious.

It’s going to be a long, long economic crisis.
P.S. Okay, I later wrote a recap of the whole Great Recession in Spain. It was quite a time. I didn’t eat cat, but as I mentioned above, I had plenty of horse meat. Also, check out this one for more Spanish Cuisine.
