Time out for a gaigingo question:
Cultivated/Uncultivated animals? For some reason I thought that in
standard gaigingo crops were cultivated (and opera fans too I guess)
and animals were farmed? Would cultivated polar bears be a merkinism?
 
My Hokkaido omiyage includes 3 packets of (processed) deer, bear and
seal meat - I'm assuming that at least 2 of those are farmed.
