I tried veal today for the first time. I didn't like it.
There was something... something about its essence. Something in the background. Not a gaminess, no. But similar to that.
It was a three-quarter pound veal chop that I sauteed in yummy bacon grease along with some onions, mushrooms and potatoes and finished by braising everything in about a cup of red wine for a lovely sauce.
I selected this cooking method based on a number of recipies I found on epicurious.com, all to rave reviews. And there wasn't anything about the ingredients that I don't like--except for the veal, which was the unknown factor.
It flavored everything. And it all went into the trash.
But it sure looked good.
See?
I guess I'm just not a veal person. What do you think? Should I have done something differently?

It looks good to me. I've never had a veal chop, only thin veal cutlets. And I really enjoyed them. But I think they were pounded pretty good.
Sorry, I'm no help at all.
Thanks, Mary. I probably should have someone who has eaten veal before try it for reference. I'm hoping it's just me.
