Interesting that you mention this just now. I just this week saw a truck
in Atlanta with the company name on the side saying something like Smith
Veal Farm (I forget the exact name). I can't say I've ever seen a Veal
company name used like that before? I wondered if they get a lot of
harassment from PETA types?

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.

It was a full sized weinermobile! If we hadn't been on the other side of a
divided highway I swear he'd have turned around and followed it. As it was
he spent the rest of the drive to the airport humming "wish I had an Oscar
Mayer weiner". LOL And we both had weiner-whisltes as kids.
