#2 Back in the late 18th century, the Catholic church decided that beavers and a host of other semi aquatic animals were fish. Had to do with the "eat fish on Friday" thing, for people who lived in areas where there weren't edible fish.

#4 Fillet of bumblebee sounds like it might require a special pallet to truly appreciate. I will probably wait until I see it on a kitchen stadium show. I am a hard pass on robot cloned pig even if the guy who travels the globe sampling roast penis declares that it is succulent.

Even before that, monks were trying to get pigs to live in the water so they could be classified as fish and get around the restriction.
