Gefelte fish is gross enough without the tapeworms. I've often felt
like buying some and substituting it for some of the path specimens in
glass jars of formaldehyde in the med student pathology lab area. It
would be very hard to catch for a lot of medical students-- probably
think it was some kind of tumor that needed a label. The Jewish ones
would probably joke about how that tissue looks just like gefelte
fish...
