Never got into eating veal myself, but you sure make it looks tasty in this dish – very impressive!

Girl I can’t remember the last time I had veal. You’ve just reminded me of how good it is… Your dish looks excellent, not to mention the polenta. I love polenta… Have a had a good serving of that either in a while.

I just recently fell in love with veal, when I made some osso buco alla milanese. good, good stuff. I don’t feel meat-guilt though… about that or anything else. and I am a huge HUGE animal lover. I just look at it differently in terms of natural sustenance. or something like that.

in any case, I’d love to do chops. this recipe looks wonderful robin, very nice.

This dish looks fabulous! I don’t count veal that often, not sure why after reading this post!

In our area, veal is raised very humanely – nice pens under the trees with the calves relaxing in the sun…

And chicken is killed earlier in its life span than veal.

Robin, you can have your veal and eat it too – Union Market has a few vendors that offer humanely raised veal. I.e. the veal gets to hang out with mom and get nursed by her and eats grass – no dark boxes… I’m not exactly saying killing baby cows is a good thing, but I think that any animal that is treated humanely, is a better trade. That said, I can’t eat veal — I’ve gone 18 years without it, so I’m pretty much okay with giving it up. For the life of me, I can’t give up meat all together, though I eat it rather rarely… But i hear you on the weakness :)

I was watching another tv show and a show came on about animals and about how crule they are to the poor veals.

They showed the poor baby veals in there caves where they are not allowed to be free or live there life or be with their mamas. They stay small and sad til they are killed for there white meat.

Please do not eat veals.

Thanks for all your comments, guys!

Nick- Definitely use bold flavors with the ground veal… or mix it with ground pork and beef to make traditional meatloaf.

Judy- You are too sweet. THANK YOU! :)

Ann- Rabbit? Oh, jeez, I didn’t even know I should feel bad about rabbit. Damn, this meat-guilt never ends!

Jim- I love you. And I love that quote.
