Why do we not eat pig or cow?
When I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.
When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.
So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

The French eating it called it beef, the English raising it called it cow. The french didn't call it roast cow because they were eating it as food, thus beef.
The above poster explained your question already.
Quand je mange du poulet, je l'appelle poulet. Aile de poulet; pilons de poulet etc.
Quand je mange de l'agneau, je l'appelle agneau. Jarret d'agneau; côtelettes d'agneau.
Alors pourquoi est-ce que je ne mange pas de cochon ou de vache ? Je mange du porc ou du boeuf.
Quelle est la raison de ceci?
Chicken and lamb were more commonly seen and interacted with by the people that ate them, cows and pigs were not.
Parceque un porc ou un boeuf ça design aussi l'animal.
