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?

    Chicken has Its own “Norman” word, which is “poultry”.

      True. I think someone else pointed this out as well. But I don’t eat a poultry drumstick. The English language is a funny thing!
