This is only semantics, but it is interesting:

Meat:


cow = beef
pig = pork
deer = venison
sheep = mutton/lamb
bird = fowl/poultry

goat = goat meat
bear = bear meat
moose = moose meat
fish = fish/seafood

fruit = meat
nut = meat

ORIGIN: Old English, "food," "article of food." (Source: AskOxford.com)
