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?

It gets even weirder. As a New Zealander, we would never say hogget for meat for the consumer (unless you went to a 'proper butcher), Farmers/Butchers will call 1-2 y/o sheep hoggets though.
Supermarkets call all of it lamb.
But as for consumers, might depend on generation or whereabouts you’re from. I have memories of my mother getting angry “this isn’t lamb it’s hogget” when she tasted it.
Or a two-tooth 🙂
I agree, I would call the meat of a two-tooth hogget, but if you wanted to buy it in the shop, well I’m not sure you could find it.
