leftover turkey, corn, mashed potatoes, and stuffing from Thanksgiving,
leftover steak,
leftover chicken strips,
leftover french fries,
leftover rolls,
leftover restaurant-mixed margarine spread, and
water (not left over!)
The second list of leftovers was from a Black Friday dinner we weren't that hungry for. Today I was very hungry and just went crazy with the fridge and microwave.
Veal kix ass - some of the best tasting meat you can get (when you get the good stuff, not the cheap frozen breaded patties, which are already not bad), but people tell me not to eat it because of 'inhumane treatment' given to make it. I have not researched it myself; I always thought it was the meat of an un-exercised young cow - is this correct, or is there more to it than that?

Well, they take young calves and put them in a pen where they can barely move. Veal Production Please note in the United States, we still "crate"
and stuff . I don't eat veal. I will if they treat the young calves better than they do.

Thats why you look for free range, silly
How do you ensure it is free range? Two ways:
1. Ask butcher for a chain of custody. Trace it back to the range.
2. Most likely, 1 is not going to happen. Therefore, use science. Veal is technically any beef that has not been weened off mom's milk. A cow never getting the chance to eat grass and only having a diet of milk makes the meat (veal) white. A cow that has started to be weaned from mom's milk will naturally be eating grass to supplament the diet. When a cow eats grass, the flesh starts to turn red.
If a baby cow has been caged and only fed milk, then it will be white meat. If a cow has somehow gotten fresh grass, the meat will be slightly pink.
On that note, I do not believe I have ever eaten white veal.
