|
|
hey,
the one thing i definitely miss from back home are REAL european bakeries. wen i went home for vacation i made a point to eat as many veal sandwiches as possible.
i was wondering if anyone knows a decent italian place that will whip up a GOOD veal sandwich on some authentic italian bread. i dont want any corn or sugar, or any other crap that koreans think tastes good.
an orangina wouldnt hurt either.
i've been to buccella's in sinsa-dong, and while i think they are great, i much rather prefer a good old fashion veal than their tiny gorm� dishes.
price is no object. |

I would kill for a veal parm sandwich, but I'm pretty sure they don't exist here. |

Combine bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Whisk 2 eggs and water. Set aside.
On a plate, spread all-purpose flour. Coat veal (hammered) with flour. Dip in the egg mixture and then coat with the bread crumb mixture.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry veal to your liking.
Spoon into the skillet your favorite tomato sauce
Throw a handful of Parmesan cheese
Top with mozzarella
Throw the skillet in an oven at 350F for 20 minutes (a toaster oven will work)
Enjoy! |

I understand how to cook and I'm quite skilled at it, thanks. That said, I still like being able to get things from restaurants (A) and (B) I've never seen veal for purchase in this country, and I've looked quite a bit. If you can tell me where I might find some veal cutlets, then we might be on to something. |

i don't know where you are, so ask corner butchers in your area. you'll have better luck if you aren't too far from a dairy. |

In one of the larger cities in Gyeonggi? Do Koreans even eat veal? I've always assumed I couldn't find it at a Korean butcher, considering it's something of a specialty item many places in the States.
On edit: After asking several Koreans I work with if they knew of veal and coming up with blank stares, I'm going to go ahead and say the above ajosshi is full of crap. |

I really hope there is no veal in Korea................
"The veal industry was created as a by-product of the dairy industry to take advantage of an abundant supply of unwanted male calves. Veal calves commonly live for eighteen to twenty weeks in wooden crates that are so small that they cannot turn around, stretch their legs, or even lie down comfortably. The calves are fed a liquid milk substitute, deficient in iron and fiber, which is designed to make the animals anemic, resulting in the light-colored flesh that is prized as veal. In addition to this high-priced veal, some calves are killed at just a few days old to be sold as low-grade 'bob' veal for products like frozen TV dinners. " Farm Sanctuary website |

Your logic and research skills are very special. And why so pissy?
Retail: Dr Kebob in Itaewon (I have not eaten there, but sounds like Carl has, or at least seen it there).
Wholesale: Do a google search (takes 5 seconds) for Gyeonggi-do. You'll find several distributors. They import most of it.
Farms: They have no use for about half of the dairy calves.
Your co-workers may know a lot about Korea, but do they know everything about Korea? For exmaple, check out this thread about asking for yellow cake at a bakery in Korea: http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=211552 The OP of that thread got confused looks, too, but that does prove that yellow cake cannot be had in Korea? And that was asking for yellow cake at a bakery. |

I agree 100%
I hope, one day, the craving for animal protein within me dies. |

Why can't you get over the fact that now you're in Korea and veal sandwiches aren't really what you find over here. If you're really craving one, go home!!! |

I suppose all my Korean friends currently living in the States should return home as well, considering their cravings for deok pokki. |
