mouton

The not-surprise surprise: the wall-street posers who ordered the Mouton but were served the Pinot couldn’t tell the difference.

But the interesting thing is that in French, sheep and mutton are both mouton.

The English peasants raised the sheep, the French masters eat the mouton.

Etymologically, English uses different words for animals than the meat, and the food word comes from the french (cow/beef/boeuf, pig/pork/porc, sheep/mutton/mouton).

I hear these things, but nobody will tell me what I should drink if I want a cheaper 2010 Mouton Rothschild.

Many were fantastic, but even so, the Mouton stood out.

I got to try the Mouton last year; not the 89, but even with a more recent vintage, the difference was instantly obvious.

Rich folk ate in French, and that's why we get terms like pork (porc), beef (boeuf), veal (veau), and mutton (mouton).

English doesn’t because the word for the animal is Germanic from Old English (pig, cow, sheep) and the word for the meat is from Norman French (pork from porc, beef from boeuf, mutton from mouton).

* Beef from Boeuf * Mutton from Mouton * Pork from porc * etc...

Boeuf (Beef), Mouton (Mutton), Porc (Pork).

Beef <- Boeuf Pork <- Porc Poultry <- Poulet Salmon <- Saumon Venison <- Venaison Mutton <- Mouton The latin words are in some cases the root of the French but it's not as clear or consistent.

"French is an example of a language in which the meat and animal name are the same, at least in the case of the sheep (mouton)".

As a side-note, "mouton" is the French word for "sheep", and thus "mutton".

> “Nearly four billion years ago, an asteroid or comet flew over the lunar south pole, brushed by the mountain summits of Malapert and Mouton, and hit the lunar surface,” Kring said.

"The English peasants raised the sheep, the French masters eat the mouton." <-- this is the non sequitur My comment was about French as such (being spoken in France by French masters and their French peasants).

A final exercise for everyone was to guess the Lafite Rothschild, for without the presence of the Mouton, it was the most expensive wine there.

Hence, the rally driver gains control by relinquishing control, allowing the car to have an imaginary and symbolic role in her success (all hail Michelle Mouton).
