Poor Man

Domain	Definition
Literature	Poor Man The blade-bone of a shoulder of mutton, so called in Scotland. In some parts of England it is termed a "poor knight of Windsor," because it holds the same relation to Sir Loin as a Windsor knight does to a baronet. Sir Walter Scott tells of a Scotch laird who, being asked by an English landlord what he would have for dinner, produced the utmost consternation by saying, "I think I could relish a morsel of a poor man." (See Bride of Lammermoor, chap. xix.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
