Veal

Veal (/viːl/), from the French word veau, is the meat of calves, in contrast to the beef from older cattle.

Etymology

The term veal comes from the Middle English vel, which has its origins in the Old French veau. The word veau in French means 'calf'.

Description

Veal is a type of meat that comes from young cattle, typically under three months old. The meat is often noted for its tender texture and mild flavor. It is commonly used in both French and Italian cuisines, and is often prepared in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, and braising.
