I think that's partly because many English words for food came from French originally. One interesting example is how we use the Anglo-Saxon words for the animals, and the French words for the corresponding meat. Cow and beef. Calf and veal. Sheep and mutton. Deer and venison.<br /><br />Probably because in the early centuries after the Norman conquest it was the French speaking invaders who were feasting on the meats, while the native Anglo-Saxon peasants were shoveling the shit.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-52723317520271590172012-06-02T13:59:17.384-04:002012-06-02T13:59:17.384-04:00Ah, so it's all the Académie's fault.
