CHAPTER 3.

VEAL.

Illustration of the parts of a calf, numbered 1 through 9.
  • 1. Leg.
  • 2–3. Kidney roast and small chops.
  • 4. Shoulder.
  • 5. Neck.
  • 6. Breast.
  • 7. Head.
  • 8. Shank Leg.
  • 9. Four Legs.

Preparation of Veal.

Appearance of Good Veal.

It must be of a white color, a fine firm grain and have plenty of fat.

Do not buy very young veal because those calves are as a rule not healthy. Cheap meat is never economical. Veal is quickly prepared because it does not require long boiling. The bouillon is good for invalids because it contains much gluten.
