Why is the same cut from different animals called different things?
For example, belly comes from a pig, breast from a lamb and brisket from a cow and yet they're all the same part of the animal. Weird, huh?
Tasty nonetheless.

ReplyDeleteOh, good knowledge. Where did you learn about that?
ReplyDeleteI think it was from a fabulous book on the history of the English language. The French had names for their meat such a beoff (beef) and Jamon (ham) etc. Whereas us dumb Anglos just called it cow meat or pig meat. They also named the joints of meat too.
