CAT STEW

BELGIANS ARE GENERALLY BELIEVED TO BE EATERS OF CAT STEW-
THAT IS, SHORTLY AFTER A BELGIAN FAMILY MOVES INTO A
NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PET CATS WILL DISAPPEAR-TO REAPPEAR
ON THE BELGIANS' TABLE AS THEIR DINNER.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT USED TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO A BUILDING WITH 6 BELGIAN
FAMILIES.
