Etymology
The word 'veal' comes from the Old French word 'veel' (or 'veaul'), derived from the Latin 'vitulus', which means 'a calf'. The term has been used in English since the 14th century to refer specifically to the meat of young cattle. This type of meat was historically prized for its tenderness and delicate flavor, making it a popular choice among the nobility and in gourmet cooking. As culinary practices evolved, veal has remained a prominent ingredient in many traditional recipes around the world, particularly in Mediterranean cuisines. The rearing of calves for veal has also raised ethical concerns, leading to various regulations regarding animal welfare in the production of veal.
