Words for Meat
Apr. 4th, 2009 12:17 pmIn English, the cooked meat of each animal has a different word for it. For example:
Cow → Beef
Pig → Pork
Sheep → Mutton
This is because of the collision of the Saxon and Norman languages about a thousand years ago. Every animal has a specialized word for it's meat, including Dolphin. Apparently during the Tudor period, each animal also had specialized carving instruments for cutting them up, and each tool had it's own specialized name (including Dolphin).
Dear Lazyweb:
Can you provide me with a list of all of the specialized names for the cooked meat of each animal?
Pig → Pork
Sheep → Mutton
