Which of the following pair is NOT correctly matched?

  1. Pork – Firm meat — Correct Answer
  2. Pork – Uremic odour
  3. Chevon – Buck odour
  4. Mutton – Ammonical odour
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Pork – Firm meat (this pair is INCORRECT)

The incorrectly matched pair is Pork – Firm meat. In reality, pork has very soft consistency, not firm.

Correct Matching: Meat Properties
  • Chevon (Goat): Very firm consistency; Buck odour ✔
  • Mutton (Sheep): Firm & dense; Ammonical odour ✔
  • Beef (Cattle): Fairly firm consistency.
  • Pork (Pig): Very soft consistency; Urine-like (uremic) odour ✔
  • Veal (Calf): No intra-muscular fat.
Odour Summary
  • Goat (Chevon): Buck odour (from goat-specific scent glands).
  • Sheep (Mutton): Ammonical odour.
  • Pig (Pork): Uremic/urine-like odour.
Consistency Ranking (Firmest to Softest)

Chevon (very firm) > Mutton (firm & dense) > Beef (fairly firm) > Veal > Pork (very soft).
