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?

    Goat is widely eaten in my country. We don’t eat lamb.

      What country is that, if you don’t mind me asking?

      Goat sounds more sustainable. You don’t have to keep culling them when they’re juveniles.

          Funny, because lamb is extremely common in Indian food here in the U.S. I guess they Americanize it, which is not shocking.

            Coming to think about it, really don’t know why lamb is not common here. Maybe it is some availability issue… I really don’t have much idea about this but was wondering lamb/sheep have any problems surviving hot weather.
