MEAT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH
INTRODUCTION
Although I have researched this page about meat I am actually a flexitarian which means that I only eat meat occasionally. There are a lot of good reasons for not eating meat (click here for more info) but it is a good idea to have a good grasp of Spanish meat vocabulary if you go for a meal or shop for meat at the supermarket in Spain. I have harvested the vocabulary on this page from the websites of :- the Corté Inglés, Mercadona, Carrefour etc. This vocabulary will be useful in a restaurant as well as in the supermarket.
