"Kay" wrote in message ... In article , Sacha writes Do I get a grade for this? ;-) Poult (according to the same dictionary) is the young of domestic fowl and game birds XV. Middle English, pult, contr. of poulet PULLET So (arch.) poulter Old French pouletier extended to poulterer XVII prob. After poultry, earlier pulletrie etc. Interesting! I hardly dare ask you this ... but what is the derivation of 'venison'? {:-)) And 'veal'? Are there any other meats which aren't simply called by the name of the animal? I won't start on the bits of animal - why 'lights' for example? Or "amourettes"? Franz |
