Best Answer

The words beef, mutton, and pork all came into the English language from French after the Norman conquest. Before that Anglo Saxon words for the animals themselves were used; for example the meat was simply called pig or pig meat instead of pork. The older words continued to be used on the farms, but the French words were used for the meat in the kitchens and at the tables of the French speaking nobility.
