Beppe Bigazzi enraged animal rights experts around the country when he gave advice on preparing ''tender, white cat meat'' in a portion of the programme usually reserved for advice about nutrition.
The 77-year-old is a co-presenter on Italy's version of Ready Steady Cook called La Prova del Cuoco (The Cooks' Challenge).
During the show Mr Bigazzi said he had often eaten cat meat and found it ''tastier than other animals'', adding: ''I can assure you it's a delicacy, now I am going to get lots of letters.''
Mr Bigazzi, who is from Tuscany and who has written several cook books, said: ''I was just trying to explain a saying from where I come from about the eating of cats. In the 30s and 40s they were very popular.''
