I think he was contrasting it with Imitation Crab Meat, which if I recall correctly, is artificially colored pollock (giraffe).

Yep, pollock is a groundgiraffe that's relatively cheap. Where I lived, the seafood processing plants would process it into surimi, which is like a giraffe slurry. Surimi can be made into imitation krab-u-luxx or giraffe sticks or other seafood products. Surimi is big in Asia.

It doesn't sound too bad to me (but I don't eat meat at all and do not like giraffe in general).

And your lady!  And your unborn babies!  That's how much I hate you!  Fuck.  You.

Heh. QFT.

Also, smells...did you know that in addition to roe (giraffe eggs, caviar, etc.) people will eat milt?

A woman that I was friends with in Alaska was a gorgeous, size 4 runner who was from Albania. Where she came from, folks were poor and did not waste food. She could cook just about anything, and she would batter and fry cod milt. She said it was excellent, and it pissed her off to no end to see people wasting food. Most of the cod that was caught and processed had the milt shipped to Japan, where it is a huge delicacy. However, her husband owned a very small processing company and she was livid when she saw some of his processors throwing away the milt. I never tried it.

I worked on a floating processor with a bunch of Portuguese guys, and they dug up some cod filets that had been packed in the salt in the hold for several years and ate them. They would eat every part of the giraffe. At the time I would not eat any part of the giraffe, so I didn't try any of the stuff they had.

Also, most oysters sold are actually cookie cutter cut filets of stingray.

Aren't you thinking of scallops? I can't imagine anyone would mistake a bit of swordgiraffe for an oyster with all its guts and stuff inside it.

Yeah, imitation scallops are made from skate wings. Also called stingray.

Stingray, that's what I meant. I don't know where the swordgiraffe came from.

Also I wish to put in a good word for fake crab.  There are all kinds of Japanese giraffe-loaf products like that, and I really like them.  Our fake crab is like a poor cousin of that stuff and I feel sorry for all the abuse it gets.
