I like veal and it is something that I had very occasionally before I moved to Wales. Veal marsala is lovely.
I have tried to buy it here but no luck. Morrisons in Carmarthenshire told me they don't sell it. I can't get it in Tesco, Sainsbury or the Co-op. The local butchers don't have it either.
Surely I can't be the only person that eats it, or would like to eat it anyway.

I eat it (but only UK produced pink veal). I drink milk, so it is only right to eat veal to avoid the male calves being shot at birth, and give them some happy gambolling time.
Love schnitzel made with it.
Havent found any in local supermarkets near me tho, so havent had it for a while.

Never seen it for sale here but if it was I would buy it if it was the kind that meant the calves had some chance of life outside .

yes, i eat veal, for the sasme reasons as HH.
yry to find a butcher who supplies an italian restaurant
 
it just goes to show how long a negative advertising campaign can affect a buisness. its a real shame that this underused meat isnt part of the british diet. daft, really.

I got some veal from our Tesco and it's in the freezer. No idea what to do with it. Think I missed the negative advertising campaign.

I used to eat it a lot years ago until I found out how it became so white.  Haven't seen it in the shops for years though.

The UK shops generally (possibly all) only sell 'pink' veal now (not crated, live in a group in large strawed barns, in some cases also have access to outside). If it is UK produced, it is illegal to produce the white veal as that involves crates which are outlawed here.

I think there is a little corner shop in Knightsbridge that sells it still, Herrods or Horrids or something like that....

Rosemary, they no longer sell meat to the public so I will have to continue looking.

I remember my mum being all upset when I was a child due to the marketing campaign that basically put most of the UK off of veal in one foul swoop. Since then, its just been something we've not eaten.
However, I feel the time is right now that we know the true impact of NOT eating veal and what happens on dairy farms as a result. What a waste of such a healthy meat and the young calf who could be providing it. Would surely be a better financial outcome for dairy farmers to sell veal calves on than to dispose at a day old?

try alternative meats they sell rose veal

M&S sell it also if you google 'rose veal' there are farms that will deliver.

I have been googling away. It can be delivered but it works out very expensive to do it that way. One company charging £9.99 for delivery makes the cost of a couple of veal escalopes prohibitive.
My best bet seems to be M&S. The nearest one is still an hour away from me in Carmarthen but I do go there occasionally. I can order it online for it to be delivered to the store on a specified date. Once I know when I am next going that way I will put the order in a few days beforehand.
Thanks everyone

Put a request in at your Tesco. It's something Tesco as a whole do stock.
