The All 'Meaty' Quiz

Answer: Pig

The word 'pork' originates from the Latin word 'porcus', which stands for domestic pig or hog.

Answer: red

Even though the wild boar is closely related to the domesticated pig, boar meat is red.

Answer: Cattle

Beef is the product of cows, bulls, steers and heifers and counts as red meat.

Answer: white

The meat of rabbit is very similar to chicken in taste and appearance, and can therefore be used in most ways just like chicken.
However, rabbit meat is considerably leaner than chicken, pork or beef and counts as white meat.

Answer: Deer

The word 'venison' derives from the Latin word 'venor', meaning 'to hunt', as it is the meat of a game animal such as pheasant, duck, bear or mainly deer.
Venison is commonly considered red meat.

Answer: true

Yes, this is actually a fact!
Guinea pigs are still bred in South America's Andes regions for their meat which is regarded as a delicacy there.
By taste and texture, the meat is much the same as the meat of chicken and rabbit.

Answer: Beef

There are some raw beef dishes, like for example steak tartare, which basically is minced beef served with sliced onions, capers and seasoning.
Another example would be steak cooked 'rare' or 'blue', which means that each side has only been fried for approximately 1 minute, so that the centre is still raw.
Eating raw pork, chicken and rabbit meat can be dangerous, due to the threat of bacteria and parasites, which can cause diseases, such as salmonella for instance.

Answer: Calf

Veal is the meat of calves. Most commonly bull calves are taken, but females can also be used to produce veal.
Interestingly, veal is considered white meat, while beef (meat from older cattle) is red.

Answer: Alpaca

Alpaca meat is exceptionally tender and lean.
It tastes very mild but flavoursome at the same time and it is described as even almost sweet tasting.
Although it is a red meat, alpaca is considered one of the healthiest meats on earth.

Answer: Switzerland

The Swiss government prohibits the food production of dog meat for trading purposes, however.
In pastoral regions, such as the cantons of St. Gallen and Appenzell, it is still customary to eat dog meat.
Swiss preparation methods include, for example dried dog meat called "Gedörrtes Hundefleisch" and smoked dog ham called "Hundeschinken".
