Cow meat

Today I worked 8 hours in a factory where they process meat...My first job was cutting smaller blocks out of big humps of cowmeat....with a shock I recognized the shape of what I had dreamt before....

> That's bizarre! Though, now I think of it, maybe not. I beleive^([sic]) it was in Sir Walter Scott (Ivanhoe) that I first encountered the notion that western nomenclature has two words for many animals--the word for the animal and the word for the animal-as-meat. But that is not much true in Holland. Pigmeat is called pigmeat, cowmeat is called cowmeat. (except that the dutch word koe is female, and the meat-word is for the genderless title). And so on. Of course, there are meats that are not named after the animal, because the preparation is also important (I think that's it).

The piece of meat was served to him by the chef in the previous area of gruesome activity which was the slaughterhouse..kappas grew confident as the prize's value was raised. And the man gave a morsel of live cowmeat to the gently hoisted head. The eyes rolled into action and he could find the life then pervade his nostrils like a bad drug.

What is inherently wrong with horsemeat, as compared with cowmeat?
