Cookbook:Meat

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients

In the Cookbook ‘Meat’ is a somewhat general ingredient super-category, the contours of which can be vague around the edges.

For some, the term ‘Meat’ may mean, strictly, only muscle tissue, but includes the muscle tissue of any animal. ‘Meat’ would then include the muscle tissue of any animal whatsoever, and leave out other parts of the animal which are used in cooking, a result others may take exception to.

However, as a rule of thumb, in the Cookbook:

• if it is an animal that can not breathe under water, it (and all edible parts of it, whether muscle tissue or not) will likely be categorized under ‘Meat’ or 'Meat and poultry', although Birds are often separately categorized under 'Poultry', and
• all animals that can breathe under water (whether fresh or salt water) will likely be categorized under ‘Seafood’.
