When I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.

When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.

So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

      Wait, I’ve heard of oxtail as a delicious southern dish, but never had the opportunity to try it.

      Is it really just a generic cow tail?

      English is stupid, and I say that as a native speaker.
