I hate veal, it tastes tangy anf gross, it's a meme meat

in the 90s they published articles with pictures like this and people stopped eating it

>>17616020
Eating baby cow make me feel bad :(

>>17616020
It's expensive af.

>>17616020
It absolutely is, though. Americans are the only ones who aren't big on veal for whatever reason.

>>17616029
>Murdering baby cows feed premium food? That's so wrong
>Murdering adults cows crammed into feedlots and fed slop for two years? Much more ethical
Why are moralfags such retards?

>>17616186
The woman effect

>>17616029
You'd rather eat ugly cows than cute ones? Why? The uglier the animal is the less you should want to eat it.

>>17616289
So we should eat things that are a close as possible to human babies?

>>17616289
I think Dennis Leary said it best.

But eating lamb is okay because mutton tastes bad?

>>17616363
Yeah, simple as

>>17616020
You need to phase out meat goy.

you can taste the hate in the meat. china-tier boiling dogs alive type procedure.

>>17616029
>the shit smeared in the walls
They asked for it

>>17616363
>mutton tastes bad
TASTELET DETECTED

>>17616363
Unless you get your lamb from a special place or raise it yourself, it's not gonna look like your pic. Just lool how big commercial lamb parts are

>>17616020
Ever seen a veal farm? They are in big kennel things. I buy beef from a local farmer and I can drive by and see the cattle in a pasture. They have a decent life until their last day

>>17616307
You actually think human babies are cute?

Too much sinew and rerves in my experience

>>17616029
basically this. however i am half italian and we put it in our meatballs with zero guilt

>>17616020
>Tastes 100 times better than regular beef.
I never got this. Veal tastes bland as fuck compared to a normal ribeye.

I don't think they sell non veal beef over here, at least not openly. We only eat veal over here, even the poorfags. Well now that I think about it there's one "gorumette" cut that is non veal though, for thick steaks. But everything else is veal.

>>17616020
the price

>>17617696
that's only an issue with poorfag veal, you're not a poorfag, right anon?

>>17616020
$$$$$$$$$

they changed the named to little baby cow and nobody eats it now

>>17616020
I drove past a place that I assume was raising Holsteins for veal since they were all males and there were no adults. They were all on pasture and he had planted sunflowers along the perimeter of the pasture. It was really pretty.

>>17616363
>mutton tastes bad
the fuck's wrong with you?

>>17616567
legalize eating babies!

>>17616020
I think its weird that people who eat chicken get upset about people eating veal or lamb. Broilers are 7 weeks old, they are big but are still babies. Lamb can be anything under a year old, I have seen lambs that are over 300 lbs. Same with veal.

And of course that's not getting into rennet.

>>17618847
Cows are mammals and thus more closely related to humans than Chickens. Nobody cares if you eat plants or fungi. People don’t care that much if you eat fish. People care a whole lot if you eat a Gorilla.

>>17617931
To be fair mutton and lamb are expensive and uncommon here in the states, so not everybody has had a lot of experience with it.

>>17620486
Mutton and especially sheep are basically uncommon in all countries that have no muslimic background. Even lamb isn't popular in most countries.

>>17616020
Other than veal parm there is absolutely no other way to prepare veal

>>17620567
Veal picatta

>>17620567
Steak, roasts, schnitzel, ossobuco, sausages, zürcher geschnetzeltes, mockturtle dishes and the most important of all: Veal fond.

>>17620505
thats bullshit, lamb/mutton as a meat is common in the uk, ireland and france. its just the cotton industry destroyed the wool industry so the meat has become extremely expensive compared to beef/pork/chicken. wool used to be a massive money maker but now its so worthless it isnt even worth sheering the sheep except they'd all die from heat exhaustion during summer

>>17616567
Anybody with a working brain thinks human babies are cute. Neoteny is an evolutionary defense mechanism. Not thinking babies are cute is a sign of a broken brain.

>>17620505
>in all countries that have no muslimic background
Wow, didn't know about the massive Muslim population of Ireland.

>>17616139
Nobody really is *big* on it because as >>17616057 says, it's expensive af. But Americans are particularly averse to it. It's good, but the quality doesn't quite justify the price.

Still, Eskalopki ftw.

What does "basically uncommon" mean to you? Look up the sheep or goat consuption/production in those countries and you will notice it's relatively small compared to other meats like pigs, cows, poultry etc. Then look up the Balkan (Greece and Romania together with Spain produce the vast majority of sheep and goat meat in Europe).
Also compare the number of dishes to more common meats. That says enough about popularity.

>>17620673
>"basically uncommon"
not available in every supermarket meat section. again its not about popularity its price. goat is uncommon here in the uk, duck maybe there's breast in some supermarkets, venison you'll have to find a butcher same with pheasant. lamb on the other hand always has its own section next to beef and pork. there's even a news story from a few years back about the US ambassador to the UK complaining about how everyone only eat lamb, that was because he was a guest around peoples homes and lamb is seen as fancy, so they were showing off vs getting the standard roast beef joint

>>17620719
Here in Germany mutton and sheep are considered trash tier meat. Even lamb is unpopular (most common dishes are probably easter lamb, navarrobut i still can get it in almost all supermarkets. Although it's mostly carré. Still no fancy cuts like you have with beef or pork. You have to go to some Turkish/Arabic shops for those.
Duck can be found as whole birds, breasts or in bigger supermarkets legs. Game is kinda dependend on season. In off season it's often just steak cuts or frozen roasts while in season you can get a wider variety of cuts and meats.
For veal it's similar, because it's pretty expensive and people never buy it unless it's on sale. If you want no prime cut you always have to order it from butchers and then those are still very expensive.

>>17616020
Baby cows are cute

>>17618847
A chicken can survive with its head cut off for an alarming amount of time, its barely alive to begin with. I've gone through phases where I've stopped eating farm mammals but I always come back to it. I would say my protein in take is mostly poultry and fish.

If there was a venison farm near me I'd eat that all day though. I have no compassion for deer.

>>17620599
Weiswurst is amazing.

>>17620505
>Mutton and especially sheep are basically uncommon in all countries that have no muslimic background. Even lamb isn't popular in most countries.
In Sweden lamb is spring/easter tradition food.

>>17620869
Typical for many christian countries but eating something once a year for a special occasion (just like goose on St. Martins day or carp on christmas in some areas) isn't really what i consider popular.

>>17620505
>dat feel when Balkans and being a cultural crossroads we devour everything

>>17620604
idk they all look asian to me

>>17616020
i only eat bison meat

>>17616020
the flavor isn't very strong
i dont care for it, id rather eat poultry or fish instead

>>17616363
Sheep are way dumber than cows. Like on the level of fish if not less. Cattle are smart and friendly and I love them. Used to lay out in the field and sleep against them while they chewed their cud and they would lay there until I got up. Such loving animals.

>>17620903
How common is lamb/mutton/sheep in christian Balkan countries? I know it's used there still more often than in western countries but there's no way it's cheaper than pork.
All the recipes say that you have to use lamb in recipes, because it's the traditional choice, but people often say it's used rarely cause of the high price.

>>17620898
I mean it's available throughout the year in grocery stores and whatnot. And we raise our own sheep on Gotland (island).

>>17620567
How about the Kobe veal porterhouse?

>>17620923

>>17616020
cause its uncomfortable to eat a baby,retard.

>>17624238
It makes zero sense to be okay with one murder but not another

>>17624252
is it hypocritical to only care if the animal is cute?
yes
will i change?
no

>>17620476
>>17620837
neither of you asked about rennet.

>>17616020
Anyone ever had bob veal?

>>17620604
>ugly things can't be cute
Is this the true power of a single core processor?
