Did you actually mean catechu or catechise?
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
CATESnoun
It has no singular. Viands; food; dish of meat; generally employed to signify nice and luxurious food.
Etymology: of uncertain etymology; Stephen Skinner imagines it may be corrupted from delicate; which is not likely, because Franciscus Junius observes, that the Dutch have kater in the same sense with our cater.
The fair acceptance, Sir, creates
The entertainment perfect, not the cates. Ben Jonson.O wasteful riot, never well content
With low priz’d fare; hunger ambitious
Of cates by land and sea far fetcht and sent. Walter Raleigh.Alas, how simple to these cates,
Was that crude apple, that diverted Eve! Par. Lost, b. ii.They by th’ alluring odour drawn, in haste
Fly to the dulcet cates, and crouding sip
Their palatable bane. Philips.With costly cates she stain’d her frugal board,
Then with ill-gotten wealth she bought a lord. Arbuthnot.
