Why do we raise cows but eat beef? \ud83d\udc2e\ud83e\udd69 It goes back to 1066. After the Norman Conquest, Anglo-Saxon peasants used Old English words for the animals, while French-speaking lords used their own words at the table. So c\u016b became beef, sw\u012bn became pork, and s\u010b\u0113ap became mutton, a class divide that still shapes our menus today.
