Butchering Questionnaire
Description
This file contains a fieldwork questionnaire designed to elicit information about the working practices and terminology used by people connected with the meat trade. The responses collected provided data for Clive Upton's PhD thesis (Leeds, 1977), 'The Language of the Meat Trade' . The questionnaire was compiled with the aid of Clive Upton's father, a Birmingham butcher of many years' experience. It includes questions on beef, lamb, pork, poultry, the slaughter of poultry and animals, contamination of meat, miscellaneous meat and meat products, game, ice, meat curing, butchering equipment, vehicles, clothing, people, actions and back slang. It also includes numbered diagrams of beef, lamb and pork carcasses, used as visual aids to elicit information for the sections on beef, lamb and pork.
