No doubt some will detract from the following but:
I have only ever eaten veal once in my life, and that was almost 40 years ago when veal escalopes were served up at formal dinner at university. I can honestly say it was the most tasteless thing I have ever eaten and, whilst not overly affected at the sight of dewey-eyed calves in crates, I thought it a criminal waste to slaughter the young beasts when in a couple of more years we could have had such luscious, juicy steaks, and more of them.
