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?

    Not exactly. The poultry family includes other fowl/birds, including turkey and duck.

      true! I poorly was thinking about poultry as a derivative of french words.
