A friend and I were chatting just a couple of weeks ago, there used to be a Mennonite community down on the Virginia, North Carolina border and they use those dog igloo kennels and they raised veal. That’s all changed. The area’s got bypasses and the old farm are disappearing, but we were remarking that we could not remember the last time we saw veal at the grocery. Or veal parm at the eateries around here.
In the military we used to get veal with tomato sauce (red gravy) and the slice of parm on top but it was all prepackaged and we used to call them elephant scabs... now there’s a memory...
In 1900, beef used to cost 30% more than veal. Even pork chops were 20% more. Now veal is easily five times more expensive than pork chops. So who wants it?
Pork, it’s the other veal.
Pork, it’s what’s for dinner.
