Does anybody have a favorite brand (not sure this is the right word???) of veal these days?

Veals are persons too.
Yes. Cute, delicious little persons. Do you notice a big difference between the veal you get here and at home?
Food for thought: How much suffering are you willing to induce just to have something tasty in your mouth?
A fair amount - Foie Gras via Gravage is far worse than veal and I'm not giving it up any time soon. Given veal is Kosher, I feel the ethical aspect is pretty much answered for me. RE: The OP - I generally buy from Gepperths or Whole Foods. The veal is not branded. At Potash Brothers, there is a Chicago-based brand that starts w/ a G (Italian name) = it is no better or worse.
Whole Foods is Strauss Veal, which is not really veal. It is older, and quite red. I had a lovely 2 inch thick veal chop tonight. I'm pretty settled on where I get it, and I am not sure there is better veal in the US. For me, veal chops, thick ones, and sweetbreads are pretty much the ****, and I really don't care about the ethical aspects. Now, if somebody ruins their food, and an animal had to die for badly cooked meat, I get upset, but it pisses me off even more if their life was a good one cut short. Veal are mostly male babies of milk cows, and they are not beef breeds, so if you are really worried about veal, you shouldn't drink milk at all. Otherwise, milk + no veal = baby male calfs killed really young and thrown away.

Nosu puppet?
Unfortunately for the animals, not everyone has the ability to consider this.
