How is veal made? and what is it made of?

Answer 1

baby cows

Answer 2

Veal is a baby cow - a calf. It's usually never allowed to move around, so the muscles don't develop and the meat stays tender. For this reason, many people refuse to eat it, believing that inhumane treatment should not be supported.

Oh, and whoever said veal is deer - wrong. Deer meat is called venison. Nothing in common with veal, except they're both meat, and both start with "v."

Answer 3

Just the facts: Veal comes from a calf, a baby cow. Shortly after birth the calf and cow are separated so that the mother will keep producing milk for dairy. The calves are placed in a small crate or cage-type thing and fed an amenia-inducing diet. The lack of movement and oxygen to the muscles causes them to atrophy, making them soft and more palatable when the baby cow is slaughtered and butchered.

Answer 4

Veal is to beef what lamb is to mutton! Basically it is calf meat, sometimes it is made to be more tender and white by the calf being reared confined in a dark crate - if you want to order veal, and you care how the animals we eat are cared for, you need to check that it is non-crated veal. Non-crated veal is just like lamb, they merely slaughter the animal younger.

Answer 5

Firstly let me say that I have never heard of or seen " bog eels "!
Now 2 t question....Veal dear boy is the meat of calves that have not been out side of the barn since the day they were born.
they are usually killed (SLAUGHTERED ) before they are 6 months old.
Clive ! Come in closer dear boy and get a picture of ME not the scenery.
The meat is usually tasteless unless cut into strips and fried in butter.
Veal is also the base meat for Vienner Schnitzel, which is all the rage on the continent, especially Austria Germany and Swizzle land.
Rcipies are freely avalable from my new book, "Ffloyd in the corner"
Good luck with it all.

Answer 6

Veal is the meat of a baby baby cow. The farmers don't allow it to exercise in order for the muscles not to get tough and the 'veal' to be really soft when cooked.

Answer 7

Veal is made from very young baby cows, they have their movement restricted to limit muscle build up (generally they're kept in a very small cage), and keep their meat tender. I don't think the colour is relevant. It's not a politically correct meat, and many butchers don't stock it anymore.

Venison is made from Deer meat.

Answer 8

Veal is not deer...

Veal is the meat of calves, specifically the male offspring of dairy cattle, and is appreciated for its delicate taste, tender texture and nutritious qualities. Dairy cows must give birth annually to continue producing milk naturally, but male dairy calves are of little value to dairy farmers except as meat. Veal is often associated with Italian, French, and German cuisines, as well as cuisines of other middle-European countries. North American consumers tend to prepare veal for special occasions only.

There are three types of veal: "Bob" veal (calves slaughtered when only a few days old), formula-fed veal, and nonformula-fed veal or "red veal". Nonformula-fed veal calves are given grain, hay, or other solid food in addition to milk. Formula-fed (or "milk-fed") veal calves are raised in confinement on a solely liquid diet. The humane movement is most concerned with this group. The consumption of veal is an important part of the Italian and French diets, and the ancient part of these cultures. Due to the toughness of nonformula-fed veal, these groups are unlikely see it as a substitute. Julia Child remarked in her The Way to Cook that nonformula-fed veal ought to be called calf.

Answer 9

Baby cow that has been kept in a tiny cage so small, that the calf cannot turn around. It is terribly cruel, I would NEVER eat veal.

Answer 10

Veal is the meat of a calf (baby cow)

Answer 11

you can prepare veal a number of ways. veal is from a milk-fed, calf that is not allowed to roam, so no real muscle develops.
