I don't know about veal trucks but I saw the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile on my
way to the Savannah airport!

Speaking of veal, I have some nice thick veal chops. I think I'll do this
with them:

Veal Chops "Four Seasons"

2 veal chops (rib chops, 1 inch thick)
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. dried crushed rosemary
1/2 tsp. crumbled leaf sage
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. olive oil

Combine flour, herbs, salt & pepper. Dredge chops in flour to coat. Saute
chops, turning occasionally, 15-20 minutes. You want them done (at most)
medium-rare. Remove to a plate and serve with similarly browned baby
artichoke hearts.
