I'm able to understand conceptually that "meat" doesn't literally mean any animal's muscle tissue in every language. Sometimes it's a more vague concept of a large mammal's meat and excludes fish, poultry, etc. And that's okay. But I also hate it.

    I’ve never once voiced this thought out loud, but every time someone says something like “I don’t want fish, I want to eat meat” I think “Well, you’re wrong, but OK.” There’s some arbitrary dividing line people assume is logical, but I don’t think it would hold up to serious scrutiny.

    Are organs other than muscle not meat?

    "Organ meats" is definitely a phrase used for offal, but I think the "organ" qualifier is doing work there. Offal is certainly meat in the sense that if ordered a dish with no meat and got liver, I'd be upset. But I'd also be upset if I said I want meat for dinner and my partner made liver. I guess it really depends on context.
