[oh, my! this is a pickle indeed. still, never let it be said Reirin doesn't rise to the occasion.]

Meat, is it? I see, the variety here doesn't seem to include it. However, we shouldn't let that stop us! Let us see -- not everything here is familiar to me either, but those mushrooms over there look rather like shiitakes, which are rather meaty...and I believe certain red-fleshed fish are robust enough to compare to meat, so we can ask the staff for their recommendations thusly, and try our luck! Perhaps we shall discover something new we both enjoy, that way.
