Taxonomy and cuisine
Note that some classifications of meat are taxonomically paraphyletic, and hence are not listed above, such as seafood (which includes only some mammals) and shellfish (which is a collective term for mollusks and crustaceans, two very distantly related groups; within the mollusks, it also excludes land snails and cephalopods (octopus, squid, etc.)).
