It seems to me that there's a long history of using "meat" and "flesh" for things that don't come from animals. For example, the common name for the edible solid and liquid parts of coconuts are the coconut meat and milk respectively. More broadly, it's common to refer to the pulpy edible part of fruits as the fruit's "meat" or "flesh" respectively.
