There are various types of meat that can be ordered in restaurants. Pork is the meat from pigs/hogs.

Amy, my knowledge are still limited by 'meat of pigs' and 'pig('s) meat'.
Is it also possible to use 'meat pigs'? (or it's just a typo)

Ah, yes... 'from'. Thanks, Alan.
Another 'unnatural' use of preposition for me to be learnt...

In my first language 'from' can be used only in the case of extraction or obtaining by using some special (for example, chemical) technogical process.
And never for fresh meat. Just 'meat of bear', for example, - for bear meat, bear's flesh.

Hmm. Hopefully, you use 'flesh of (an) apple', not 'from apple'...

Hi Tamara

I've now corrected my typo. Wink

Yes, you can say "the flesh of an apple" but I'd say it's not used particularly often.

Instead of 'meat of/from a bear', I'd simply say 'bear meat' Very Happy

Thanks, Amy, for fleshing out (?) the apple-and-bear-issues. Smile
