Veal meat again
We eat chickens that are a few weeks old. We eat lambs when they are still furry bundles of cuteness
Yet many of us shrink away from eating veal, appalled by the very idea.
Why these double standards - especially when veal can be such a wonderful meat?
I oppose the cruel way veal calves are treated in some countries and would never buy such a product.
But I have my meat delivered by an organic farmer who rears his animals with care and respect.
Occasionally, he slaughters a calf and, when that happens, I'm only too willing to buy.
Yesterday I cooked Dexter veal steaks with a lemon, butter sauce, new potatoes and a courgette, chilli, basil, lemon and olive oil salad and it was magnificent.
And you know what: I didn't regret a tender, sweet mouthful.
