The reason deer meat is 'venison', cow meat is 'beef' and pig meat is 'pork' is that those were meats eaten by the higher echelons of society in the early middle ages. The higher echelons of society in early medieval England were Norman (i.e French) and they imported their words for those meats into our language. The meats eaten by the lower orders (the native english) retained their original English names. i.e chicken and rabbit. Turkey was introduced later and was not of the anglo-french period. |

Interestingly - we call turkey, turkey because it came from Turk traders.
The French call it Dinde - as in Poisson D'Inde - literally Indian Chicken - because it was supposed to come from India. The Dutch call it kalkoen, which is Dutch for Calicut, an Indian port - again where it was supposedly from. And the Spanich word for turkey is pavo - which was originally a peacock (peacock is now pavo real). Just a bit of Friday afternoon linguistics for you. |

I don't care what they call `em, just stuff `em in a blender and cook `em.

Most of the early American pioneers had limited education, and couldn't spell Mozambique, so they changed it to apple.

I'll bet they're different recipes, though.

There was a TV competition last year for The Great British Menu - each dish that won was served at the British Ambassador's Dinner in France.
The main course was a variation on Stargazy Pie made with rabbit and crayfish. So perhaps rabbit & venison are not such strange bedfellows. |
