The only meat that got a rebrand so successful you forgot it was pig.
means The meat that comes from a pig.
from From Old French 'porc,' descending straight from Latin 'porcus' meaning pig or swine. English absorbed it after the Norman Conquest, when French-speaking nobles ate 'porc' at the table while English-speaking peasants raised 'pigs' in the yard — one of several pairs (cow/beef, sheep/mutton, calf/veal) where the living animal kept its Old English name and the cooked meat took the fancier French one.
