veal
Tender calf meat
Veal is the meat of a young calf, prized for its tenderness and mild flavor.
The term also refers to the calf itself when raised for this purpose.
Veal is typically pale pink, lighter than beef, because calves are slaughtered before their muscles develop fully: veal cutlet, veal parmesan.
The practice of confining calves to restrict movement has made veal ethically contentious.
