So I've never eaten veal because I was well informed from an early age The it was baby cattle. I know a lamb is not a sheep but had a blind eye to the issue when enjoying lamb chops at Indian restaurants in London. My favorite thing but mainly due to texture and sauces I dipped it in. No good on its own.

Finally back state side where no one really really knows how to do a rack of lamb that justifies murdering babies I decided no more lamb.

A Times article gastronomic piece put it this way:

"Animals, like most everything else in nature, grow stronger as they move from infancy to adulthood: they develop more fat, more muscle, more everything. They’ve eaten more food, and the food they’ve eaten changes them; it makes them taste like their food, which can be a very good thing indeed. I am against eating baby animals on gastronomic principle alone. The flavor of all immature animals is uniformly bland. The real taste of sheep isn’t to be found in lamb, but rather in mutton; no teensy little 4-lb. chicken is ever going to have the flavor of a fat old hen.

So why, then, do we persist in eating babies? One reason, though not the real one, has to do with texture. Baby animals don’t taste great — really, they don’t taste much like anything — but their flesh is tender and so satisfies a country where the greatest compliment any meat can receive is that “you can eat it with a spoon.” Yes, baby animals are “like butter,” but so what? Take an old tom turkey, or the shoulder of a 250-lb. hog, and cook it for many hours in a heavy pot, a slow oven or a sous vide bag, and it’ll be “like butter” too."

this is true I've had steak prepared and seasoned over days from too end reastaurants that you can cut with a fork.

Lamb is wrong.
