  Back to veal chops... I never had it until I was well into my 40s. I
ordered it in a nice restaurant and it turned out to be breaded. I never
did learn how to do that with veal but I guess it is like the way I do
rack of lamb where the meat is seared in a pan, smeared with mustard or
something similar as a binder for seasoned crumbs and then finished in a
hot oven. I grilled a few veal chops after that but one of these days I
want to try breading them.

When I was a kid, a very popular meal, in roadside diners, was breaded
veal cutlets. It was my favorite meal, for lunch, when we were traveling.
They slaughtered BABY cows for me! The meal went out of fashion, because
proto-Bruces gnashed their teeth and howled.
Great meal! How sad? :(

We're having veal tonight.

Veal is typically from male calves that are surplus to the dairy industry.
They're slaughtered when they're 16-18 weeks old and up to 450 pounds.
It's impossible for me to get exercised about "baby" cows that weigh
a quarter ton.

Or about any other animal.

Yep.  They're just animals.  If they wanted to be at the top of
the food chain, they would have evolved opposable thumbs.
