And it's in part because I'm familiar with it that I don't blame anyone for not doing a reality check when they think a ?British recipe is telling them to make a pie out of ground beef and apples.

1. Basically any edible part of any once-living thing.
2. Edible parts of animals.
3. Edible parts of land animals. ("Fish, or meat?")

1. A particular plant.
2. The leaves of that plant.
3. The dried and chopped leaves of that plant.
4. A beverage made from the above.
5. A meal at which the beverage is traditionally served.
Otherwise it's like an orphaned reference that can live on divorced from context indefinitely.
Maybe when people from outside your cultural context don't immediately and intuitively grok the weird twists and turns language took to get to the point things are at today, take a moment to reflect upon and appreciate that history.
