The stuff I got should more properly be "Seafood Bits in Aspic". When I
opened the can, there was a fish head staring at me. And I identified a
fragment of shrimp, and a piece of tentacle. My husband turned a delicate
shade of green when I described it to him. ;-)

It does make me wonder, though. The one cat likes cinnamon, and
fish. Maybe she'd like fish in galantine.

She's already tested and approved Darioles, buchaut of bunny, the crust
from the tardpolanes, and the meat pie thingys from Guter Spise. And the
krumkake. So it wouldn't surprise me if she liked fish in galantine. ;-)
