The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read
Customer: "Leg of lamb for Sunday. There's eight of us."
Butcher: "For eight I'd do you a leg of mutton."
Customer: "Mutton. Isn't that what they ate in the war?"
Butcher: "It's what they ate every Sunday for eight hundred years. Lamb was the treat. Then the treat took over and the dinner went for dog food."
Customer: "What's the difference?"
Butcher: "Age. That lamb's about five months. This one's five years."
Customer: "Five years sounds old."
Butcher: "Five years is a ewe who's raised four lots of lambs on a hill, eaten nothing but grass, and retired. The lamb hasn't seen a winter. It's barely seen a Tuesday."
Customer: "Does it taste better?"
Butcher: "It tastes of something. Every year on that hill goes into the fat, and the fat's where the flavour lives. Darker meat, more iron, muscle that's done some climbing. Lamb tastes of being young, which is lovely, and so is a cup of warm water."
Customer: "I've heard it's tough."
Butcher: "Cook it like lamb and it'll fight you. Low oven, four hours, lid on, and it gives up without a word. I've hung it a fortnight. It's done most of the work already."
Customer: "My daughter won't eat lamb. Ethics."
Butcher: "Then she's on my side. Four months old, or five years outside with a family behind her and a quick end at the finish. If I had to pick one of those for myself I know which it'd be."
Customer: "She'll say neither."
Butcher: "She'll say neither over a leg of mutton, same as everybody else does. Then she'll have seconds."
[The woman behind him had come in for chops. She left with the other leg.]
Customer: "Go on then."
Butcher: "Tell them it's lamb if you must. They'll ask what you did to it."
