Answers:

NUT MEATS
Why are the contents of nuts called nut meats?
Until about 1300 the term 'meat' referred to any solid food, and 'drink' to liquid food. Around that year, ‘meat’ began to be used to refer to the flesh of animals. It wasn't until later that the term took on its modern meaning - when animal flesh started to become a significant part of the English diet.
