There is that possibility. Others might include it being some sort of  
fabricated, fried thingy akin to the chicken blobs sold at various  
fast-food franchises, or some dialect's reference to thin shavings  
(i.e. chipped beef).

This is a good process, though. I'm sure the late Mr. Fort would be
