Hello fellow forer@s! I searched the forum for a similar thread but couldn't find one for all languages.
Would you help me write down a list of the names of animals and their meat in as many languages as possible? I hope this will be fun and useful for a lot of people!
If you can think of more animals I may have forgotten, feel free to add them to your list. Also, feel free to correct my list if you find it incomplete or incorrect.
Please don't forget to indicate the language!
Thanks!
