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

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.

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'

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