The meat from some animals has a different name from the animal itself. For example, the meat from a cow is called
beef, the meat from a pig is called
pork or
ham or
bacon, the meat from a calf (= young cow) is
veal, the meat from a deer is
venison, and the meat from a sheep is
mutton. But the meat from a lamb is
lamb and for birds the same word is used for both the meat and the creature:
Shall we have chicken or duck for dinner?
