Talk:Surimi

What is surimi?

The intro line to this article says surimi is based on poultry or fish. The definition section says surimi is based on fish. The "List of surimi food" section includes tsukune which is based on poultry, pork, or beef (no fish). The tsumire article incorrectly redirects to tsukune, when tsumire is actually based on fish. The tsukune article calls itself surimi when it does not contain fish. —Tokek 08:25, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My brief research so far says surimi is Japanese for "minced fish" and other meats are not surimi. Still researching. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the etymology "minced meat" is apparently correct: [1]. Not to say it isn't used exclusively to refer to fish products, though... still unsure. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Japan-centric?

It's served in many countries in East and Southeast Asia, but this article focuses on the Japanese variant. Should it be rewritten, or as a main article of the section on this Japanese variant in a general article? — Insta ntnood 14:32, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
