Haven't updated for a long time, mostly because there isn't much to update. Just busy with work, and music. Oh I also bought an XBOX360, and I must say that it is SICK! Especially played on the 52" HDTV we have. "HDTV 4 Ever

My best guess is that because there are so many different things you make with beef and pork vs. the limited things you can do with chicken.

Sorta like how Eskimos have 50 words for 'snow' and all that.

True, you can do the same thing with beef (category A) as you can with lamb (category B). All Four-Legged meaty products (red meat...uh, plus pork) can be used the same, but chicken/duck/goose (poultry) is different.

But that still doesn't answer my curiousity about how it came to be the two different categories.

Perhaps it has to do with English language lingustics, and the meats that have a word other than the name of the animal, were the meats commonly eaten by the Anglo Saxon tribes, thus warranting that this particular type of common food substance be given a separate word. Perhaps things like lamb and goat, which perhaps are more commonly eaten in Mediterranean cuisine, were introduced to the English diet later on, so people simply described this new meat by what animal it came from. I dunno, just a guess...

Venison and beef actually can both be the meat from several different species.

I'm only responding because I was all stoked about the current music. Anthrax is the jam.
