Carne is meat. So if you say carne de pollo it means meat of chicken or chicken meat. You can just say pollo if you are wondering if it is correct to say taco con pollo perhaps. you dont have to say carne de pollo.

Generally, Carne, without referring to any type of animal, is beef only.

Carne de pollo. Carne de cerdo. Carne de res.

Please do not think that "carne" is a direct translation for "meat," although it can mean that. Generally, at least in my part of the world, "carne" means beef. In a restaurant I often see dishes listed with carne or with pollo or with cerdo. If there is any question, then it becomes carne de res. In a restaurant or butcher shop, carne means beef. In a more general sense, carne can also mean any meat or flesh. The human body is composed of flesh and blood or carne y huesos.

Flesh is flesh,it does not matter whose from. If you go on a vegetarian diet,you go without chicken,eggs or other milk products.

Carne es carne,no importa de quien sea.Si siques una dieta vegetariana,te quedas sin pollo,huevos o otros productos lácteos.

One sometimes distinguishes among "fish", "fowl" and "meat". (which would make chicken "fowl"). No matter how you look at it, "pork" would be meat.The dietary laws of Judaism and Islam proscribe the eating of pork, but it is, nonetheless, a meat.

I think that carne is meat and that includes chicken and pork too.
