NAMECALLING

What do you call your food?  Meat of a chicken is called "chicken."  Makes sense.  Meat of a turkey is called "turkey."  Of course!  Flesh of a fish is called "fish."  Yes!   Meat of a lamb is called "lamb."

On the other hand:  The meat of a cow is called "beef" and the meat of a pig is called "pork."  What's the deal?  Does it revolt you to say, "I'll have another piece of cow."?   Could you live with asking for a few strips of pig with your breakfast?   Actually, we had both turkey and pig for Thanksgiving dinner.

I started thinking about this last night when I had a some cow at a restaurant.  They called it a steak - no mention of what animal it came from.  Moo!   I think I'm going to be sick.
