Animal meat
Animal meat
Animal meat is a broad category of edible animal flesh that may be fresh, minced, cooked, cured, or otherwise prepared, without specifying species or cut.
About Animal meat
Animal meat is edible flesh from an animal, used fresh or after processing in a wide range of foods. The category can include different species and cuts, and may be sold whole, minced, cooked, cured, or otherwise prepared.
Appearance, texture, flavour, and fat content vary with animal, cut, age, and preparation. Since the record does not name a species or form, it supports only a broad meat category and not a specific meat, cut, or product.
