@violanders Examples of that meaning can be found well into the 19th century. The meaning "flesh" is first attested in the 13th century.

@yvanspijk @violanders Interestingly, the meaning has narrowed even more in German: "Mett" means "minced pork". Also, in southern Germany, a butcher is commonly called "Metzger".
