It is very common in this part of the world to
refer to every meat from almost every animal
source as beef or just meat. This is not only
common amongst the less educated but also
amongst the well-educated. The exceptions are
just meat that are totally different; of course,
nobody would refer to chicken, turkey, snail and
pork as beef.
The only distinction we seem to have gotten
between meat that look alike in structure and
appearance is that between beef and pork.
These are the meat from cattle and pig
respectively. These are the two we actually call
their real names. It is hard to come across a
person – even a stark illiterate, who would refer
to pork as beef but when it comes to meat from
goat, sheep and some other related animals, it is
beef.
Why am I writing article on names of Meat?
I was on a queue in a restaurant waiting to make
my order when the man in front of me started
raising his voice. I listened and found out that he
was arguing with the waitress over names of
meat.
The man already bought rice and plantain when
this poor waitress asked what else the man
wanted. “Put one meat”, the man replied. The
waitress then asked him what kind of meat the
man wanted to which the man replied, “what do
you mean, just put one meat”.
I could see the frustration on the face of the
waitress when she calmly replied, “but sir, we
have different types of meat – even pork”. Then
the man asked one hilarious question “why
would you put pork? Is pork meat? Pork is pork
and there is cow meat and goat meat!” I had to
add my voice to save the helpless waitress. This
was when I thought I should write about this
because others joined the argument and I found
out that people only knew what the meat from
cattle and pig are called – beef and pork.
