Well why not, the Catholics make up everything else, I guess they get to reinvent what is a fish and what isn't.
I've never had alligator, but I've heard it's tasty. So I looked it up in some of my online recipe threads, and every one of them says to add so many pounds of alligator
MEAT! If I look up a fish recipe it says add 2 pounds salmon, or trout but never uses the word meat.

He called someone at his church and they said it is still OK to eat because it is not considered meat because it is cold-blooded. I laughed at him and said of course it is meat because it is muscle and muscle turns in to meat when you cook it.

Well I'll slightly disagree with you on this. I think muscle is officially meat when it's butchered. After all, the venison in my freezer is still meat.

I told him he needed a fish and showed him a picture of a fish:
He laughed at me and said that is a mammal but I did not see any breasts or hair on it so I think he was making fun of me he does that sometimes.

Hmmmm........ interesting neighbor. Obviously confused on a lot of subjects. I hope he doesn't keep the rat poison in the pantry.

Vegetarians are weird. They'll eat fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, etc, etc, etc, but still look down their noses at you because you enjoy a good side of beef.
It's still irking me that I can't find that study they did in "Berkley" where 60% of the "vegetarians" had eaten beef in the last 48 hours.
