When I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.
When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.
So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

Isn’t the buffalo “Old World”, and the Bison “New World”?
They are actually different (but similar) animals, from different continents.
I think you’re technically right, but most Americans call bison buffalo, even though they’re different animals.
