[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 783621, member: 67273"] Well - the Elites were French, and spoke in French but wrote in Latin at the time you are referring to. Hence why the names of meat and the animals they come from are different - the French speaking Elite would refer to the meat in French (Mutton, Pork, Venison, Beef, etc) and the English speaking populace would refer to the animal (swine, cow, deer, sheep etc.).
