Today
we
talk
about
animals
and
animals
we
eat
.
In
English
,
these
two
____________________
often
have
different
names
.
Pigs
turn
into
____________________
.
Cows
turn
into
____________________
.
Sheep
is
mutton
.
Calves
are
veal
.
And
deer
is
venison
.
But
why
do
we
____________________
these
animals
different
names
when
we
prepare
them
for
a
____________________
?
Why
is
it
?
pig
?
on
the
farm
but
"
pork
"
in
a
____________________
?
The
answer
is
the
Norman
Conquest
of
Britain
in
1066
.
That
is
when
many
____________________
words
became
part
of
the
English
language
.
Many
of
those
French
words
related
to
the
battlefield
,
such
as
?
army
?
and
?
royal
.
?
Many
related
to
____________________
and
taxation
.
And
many
others
related
to
food
.
When
animals
were
in
the
stable
or
on
the
farm
,
they
____________________
their
Old
English
names
:
pig
,
cow
,
sheep
and
calf
.
But
when
they
were
____________________
and
brought
to
the
table
,
an
English
version
of
the
French
word
was
used
:
pork
(
porc
)
,
beef
(
beouf
)
,
mutton
(
mouton
)
and
veal
(
veau
)
.
On
several
websites
,
word
experts
____________________
that
this
change
shows
a
class
difference
between
the
Anglo
-
Saxons
and
the
French
in
Britain
at
the
time
of
the
____________________
.
Because
the
____________________
-
class
Anglo
-
Saxons
were
the
hunters
,
they
used
the
Old
English
names
for
animals
.
But
the
____________________
-
class
French
saw
these
animals
only
at
mealtimes
.
So
,
they
used
the
French
word
to
describe
the
____________________
dishes
.
Today
,
modern
English
speakers
?
____________________
of
social
class
?
have
come
to
use
both
.
However
,
the
words
?
deer
"
and
"
venison
,
"
____________________
,
are
a
bit
more
complicated
.
