lamb gizzards apparently

 

Lambs don't have gizzards. Only birds and some reptiles do. Mammals never.

Karimeen is what I always thought translated to Kingfish, but google offers Pearl Spot or Green Chromide.

 

Remember that Google offers nothing but a listing of what other people offer.

 

I often have to translate obscure food items (from Chinese) and find Google more often than not to be useless, I search for something and get results that are miles away from what I am looking for, or I get things which are well meant but obviously wrong.

 

If I were to put on my website now that kanmeen is raw donkey flesh dressed with  pineapple juice, that will turn up on Google, too.
