Yo...Ileana,<BR/><BR/>Most meat names come from Norman French. You can see the similarities in modern French animal names:<BR/><BR/>mutton < mouton (sheep)<BR/>beef < boeuf (cow)<BR/>veal < veau (calf)<BR/>pork < porc (pig)<BR/> <BR/>The theory is that the Anglo-Saxons who raised the animals in the fields used the English names, but the people who cooked and served the meat used the Norman French names, since that was the language spoken by the nobles (who were eating the meat).<BR/><BR/>doreenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492937514054427466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183375047912079479.post-28494231296781272892008-07-15T22:33:00.000-04:002008-07-15T22:33:00.000-04:00Looking forward to seeing what the official answer...Looking forward to seeing what the official answer is to your cow/beef etc... question. A topic on this was brough up (many yrs ago) and wasn't quite sure how close I'd be with an answer. <BR/><BR/>LOL Ileana! My Hubby is also an Eagle Scout (so is our son) and that "Be Prepared" is very familiar in our household :). We don't have the whole house generator but do have a portable one that gets put to use during power outages. (Can't have the deer/venison go bad that's in the freezer! LOL ) <BR/><BR/>Hopefully this hurricane season will be gentle on all.debenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913226313935513074noreply@blogger.com
