> The test, which is used by other employers, not just law enforcement, poses questions such as: “In the set of words below, what word is different from the others? A. Beef. B. Mackerel. C. Veal. D. Bacon E. Lamb.” I hate that kind of question. There are at least two obvious answers: B. The others are all food that comes from domesticated land mammals. Mackerel as a food comes from a fish. Mackerel is also different because it is both the name of the animal and the name of the meat: mackerel comes from mackerels, whereas beef comes from cows and bulls, as does veal, bacon comes from pigs, and lamb comes from sheep. D. Bacon is a specific preparation of meat (cured) from specific parts (sides or back) of the pig. The others can be prepared in a variety of ways and can come from more regions of the animal.
