Poultry and fish, however, often differ from the red meats in preparation and tests for doneness (rare, medium and well done). The word meat comes from the Old English word mete, which referred to food in general. The narrower sense that refers to meat, which does not include sea food, developed over the past few hundred years and has religious influences. Meat, especially beef, is prepared in many ways, as steaks in stews, fondue, or as dried meat. It may be ground then formed into patties (as hamburgers or croquettes), loaves, or sausages, or used in loose form (as in "sloppy Joe" or Bolognese sauce). Some meat is cured by smoking, pickling, preserving in salt or brine (see salted meat and curing). Other kinds of meat are marinated and barbecued, or simply boiled, roasted, or fried. Meat is generally eaten cooked, but there are many traditional recipes that call for raw beef, veal or fish. Meat is often spiced or seasoned, as in most sausages. Meat dishes are usually described by their source (animal and part of carcass) and method of preparation. Meat is a typical base for making sandwiches.
