When I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.

When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.

So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

    Fascinating! Thank you all for the answers! I got an F in French at high school, which might explain why I hadn’t made the connection.
