I’ve never had a buffalo wing that came from a buffalo.

Can I sue over that?

I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure there is some 'dog' in them.

I remember years ago someone describing to me how scallops were often just round sections punched out of rays’ “wings” (with something like a cookie-cutter). Never been much of a seafood fan; the food smells the same when it is fresh and a month old...

I am reminded of the old Benny Hill sketch.

Waiter: How about some rabbit soup?

BH: I heard your rabbit soup has horsemeat in it.

Waiter: Yes, but only fifty percent.

BH: Fifty percent ?

Waiter: Yes, one horse, one rabbit.

” the food smells the same when it is fresh and a month old...”

You’re definitely going to the wrong joints for seafood.

Hope they didn't choose this lab. The results would be suspect.
