Veal.
THOUGH the flesh of a cow-calf is much whiter than that of a bull, yet the flesh is not so firm; but the fillet of the former is generally preferred on account of the udder. If the head is fresh, the eyes will be plump; but if stale, they will be funk and wrinkled. If the vein in the shoulder is not of a bright red, the meat is not fresh; and if there are any green or yellow spots in it, be assured it is very bad. A good neck and breast will be white and dry; but if they are clammy, and look green or yellow at the upper end, they are stale. The kidney is the soonest apt to taint in the loin, and if it is stale, it will be soft and slimy. If a leg is firm and white, it is good, but if limber, and the flesh is flabby, you may be assured it is bad.
