Veal Quotes

“Veal is the quintessential Lonely Guy meat. There's something pale and lonely about it, especially if it doesn't have any veins. It's so wan and Kierkegaardian. you just know it's not going to hurt you.”
Bruce Jay Friedman (1930- )
‘The Lonely Guy Cookbook’ (1976)

“Cut round on the top near to the outer edge with a chisel and hammer”
Directions on a can of roast veal - 1824

"There was an Old Man of Three Bridges,
Whose mind was distracted by midges;
He sate on a wheel,
       eating underdone veal,
Which relieved that Old Man of Three Bridges."
Edward Lear, English artist, writer; known for his 'literary nonsense' & limericks  (1812-1888)

 

“Sometimes I pray to Cod for the veal-power to stop playing with my food words, but I fear it's too bread into me. For all I know, the wurst may be yet to come.”
Mark Morton
