veal.

and how is it identified?
A. This is the upper half Of the veal
leg, as distinguished from the shank
or lower half Of the leg. 1t contains
the rump bone and a portion of the
round deg) bone. This cut has q
high proportion Of meat to bone;

This makes q very delicious roast,
cooked very slowly In an open pan.
A slow oven temperature (300o FL Is
important In roasting veal. The
roast may be improved by laying
slices OF bacon or salt pork, or bacon
drippings, over the roast while 1t is
cooking. Allow about rs minutes per
