False advertisement. Crab vs. Krab?

Is it false advertisement to say that krab meat (artificial crab) is crab at a restaurant?False advertisement. Crab vs. Krab?
Of course it is! Like the answerer above stated, some could have allergies to the ingrediants in Krab (it does contain eggs, a popular allergen). Also, consumers often make their entree choice based upon price. If I order ';crab'; and am served imitation after paying what I believe is a reasonable price for the real thing - I'm going to be upset to say the least.





In college I waitressed at a little cafe over the summers to make some extra cash. On the menu were crab cakes. I can't even say how many times customers would order them, to discover they were made of imitation and simply walk out without paying the tab. People don't like being deceived!False advertisement. Crab vs. Krab?
I think it is because I hate that stuff. Crab is crab and should only be served as crab. The other stuff - Krab or whatever they call it should not be advertised as crab.
What's the name of the restaurant?
Yes, due to the fact that the flavoring in krab could actually make some that are senitive to it sick (like me) I never had a problem with real crab just that krab stuff. (my doctor said it was the flavoring in it)
Restaurants do not serve ersatz crab. They don't need to because they can serve you the seafood that the ersatz crab is make up from i.e. pollock, cod, haddock and other flatfish. It's still fish. Sort of an alternate to fish sticks but coloured and shaped to look like crabmeat.
If they identify it as artificial crab meat, it's not illegal.
