Somewhere, quite recently, I was in a discussion of the early usage of the word 'meat' and the way it changed from meaning 'things that can be eaten' to meaning 'specifically food made of animal flesh,' with a detour through Genesis (He giveth them their meat in due season) and Robert Burns (Some hae meat and canna eat, etc.) -- but now I can't remember whether this conversation happened online or in real life.
