History, tradition and origin
Lamb is the meat of spring festivals around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, roasted for Easter, Passover and Eid. Veal has a long history in Italian, French and Austrian cooking, where breaded cutlets and braised shanks are regional signatures. Both are mild meats, usually paired with herbs, lemon or wine.
Food economy and industry
Sheep graze hillsides and dry land that cannot grow crops, and New Zealand and Australia export most of the lamb traded worldwide. Veal is closely tied to the dairy industry, since dairy herds produce calves each year. Welfare rules for veal have tightened considerably, and group housing is now required in the European Union.
