in french it's just the name of the animal. Here's a cow. eat cow. A pig ? eat pig.
Maybe it makes it easier to mentally link together the live animal and its meat.
At least Gordon slaughters them first, you freak!
casually CHOMPS on my pet cow
Are there not even specifics for different cuts or like oxtail or pigs feet or giblets or liver or stuff that aren't "meat" in the muscle fiber sense?
