Gah.I've had veal before, but I want to know what farm it comes from before I eat it so I know they aren't abused. I've become very picky lately about the treatment of my food. The better they live, they better they taste, IMHO.I'm thinking of doing a farmer's share next year which includes beef and poultry. I'd rather support the local farmers who DO treat the livestock well then god-knows what is being shipped in from where.-SuuMay have been to Vermont one too many times now. *crunch*I'm too concerned with the way primates want to treat other primates to worry about how they play with their food."You are what you eat."

That is better than tofu right? Or cabbage?
If this is true, then I am coffee today.I could be shit and death too, had I heeded the advice of one especially vocal driver this morning.
Either veal is over-rated or I've just never had a good cut of it. Every time I've eaten it I found it too chewy.

The only veal I ever had that was chewy was in the army. We hypothesised that was where combat boots went when they died.

Isn't the main complaint about veal that they raise the calves in horrible conditions?That calf doesn't look like it's being force-fed in a box; hence, it should be as ok to kill as any other cow.That and it's a dairy farm. So they won't slaughter him anyway. They'll raise him to be a bull and breed.
