Candlelight fisherman! Love that one.

I believe I have the album it comes from courtesy of [personal profile] choco_frosh.

I suspect she realises at some levels that clams and shrimp were once living, but they don't always connect the dots.

From the way she talks about it, she seems to have made the connection between some foods and animals, but not yet others. She understands that I can threaten the rabbits that wreck my mother's garden with being turned into hasenpfeffer, and she likes when I sing the fried shrimp song (it bobs through the depths of the ocean, serenely boasting of its existence untroubled by whales, until the small child engulfs it), but where hot dogs come from is still a mystery.

She also chats astrophysics with her grandad and is perfectly aware that real comets are balls of icy rock, but it still doesn't stop her play ones having babies....

That sounds completely reasonable to me.
