recipes for predators seem to be generally lacking from the 
medieval cookbooks.  Elizabeth David wrote "How to cook a wolf", 
but she used the word metaphorically, and it's a 20th century book. 
 This seems a good place to mention that Granado (1599) says 
that animals killed by their predators are particularly tasty.  
Something about fear making the blood rush to the heart... or out of 
the heart.  I don't have time to check right now.
