True story -- in the late 1970's I took a trip into the deepest heart of the Amazonian jungle in Rondonia, Brasil, along the Inauini River. We were about three days away from anything anyone would call civilization, when we came across a guy with a little camp site, cooking something on a spit over a small fire. Our guide asked him what he was cooking, and he said it was an ocelot (basically a jungle version of a bobcat, only a LOT meaner). Bemused, I asked the guide to ask him how long one cooks an ocelot. After the translation, the guy got the oddest look on his face, like it was the stupidest question he'd ever heard. In his jungle-Portugese, he replied, "It depends on how hungry you are."
We didn't ask anything else, and just moved on up the river.
