Yes, there are those who misuse the term to pass brains, testicles, and other parts off to those who would not otherwise try them or to sell less valuable cuts to receive a greater margin.

In preparation they can appear similar enough and have a close enough texture for people who havent had both to not know the difference. If he was a chef at a high end resort I would suspect he knew the difference and was pulling your leg. It is common in the restaurant industry to advertise one thing and serve another, a common example around here is zander for yellow perch or walleye, but, I would think that a chef working at someplace with a reputation to protect wouldnt take the risk on something like that or at least I would hope not.

This article is basically admitting that it does, but minimizing/denying it at the same time.

“While there is no actual fetal tissue in vaccines, some vaccines do have a tenuous link to fetal tissue.

Certain vaccines, including the Mumps Measles Rubella (MMR) vaccine, contain live attenuated (weakened) viruses which can stimulate immunity but cannot cause disease. The viruses are cultured in aborted fetal tissue cells. ...”

” ... Certain vaccines, including the Mumps Measles Rubella (MMR) vaccine, contain live attenuated (weakened) viruses which can stimulate immunity but cannot cause disease. The viruses are cultured in aborted fetal tissue cells. The cells were obtained more than 50 years ago, as a result of elective abortions — and today the cells are more than three generations removed from their origin....” [Texokie: so the say.]

.....”For those who are still uncomfortable with this revelation, it might be helpful to know that the Vatican has actually taken a stand on the issue.

The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life issued a statement in 2005 saying that, though it is wrong to make vaccines using aborted fetal tissue, and that such practices should no longer be employed, it is acceptable to use vaccines developed from abortions that were carried out decades ago, because immunizations play a vital role in protecting life by preventing illness and death....”
