Product Description

Waitrose British Veal Rib

Waitrose veal is supplied by one farmer in East Anglia, who has been supplying Waitrose and Ocado since the early 90's. All the veal we sell is British and comes from calves that are born and reared on British farms. The British calves are reared and housed in well-ventilated buildings with plenty of natural light and straw bedding. They're fed a diet of Milk, Water and Cereal, that produces tender delicate meat. There is a close working relationship between the dairy farmers and beef producers to ensure that male calves from Waitrose milk production are offered a viable outlet in Waitrose Beef and veal production.

Makes a lovely meal

Very expensive meat, but very nice, very soft and tender and also quite filling as the chops are quite large and quite thick, would probably buy again

Little and large

Like two of the other reviews, one of these was a "normal" portion size, the other was huge - and both quite different cuts, therefore difficult to cook for a dinner for two.

mmmmmmmm

Huge Hunk of Meat

We first had veal chop on the bone at Les Ambassadeurs Club off Park Lane and it was stunning. This hunk of meat was nearly as good as that one. A bit pricey but for a one off it's fine. The flavour was lovely but the butchering of it was not so good unfortunately. It was uneven and was partitioned so when you went to turn it on the griddle it flopped about a bit. We ordered two chops but one was smaller and thinner than the other so a bit more attention to detail when cutting the meat would be appreciated Mr Waitrose Ocado Butcher!. There was no questioning the quality of the veal. Perhaps an option as to whether we can have it cut medium or thick cut as it was more like a one rib you would expect to get as a roasting joint for the oven as opposed to a chop which you would expect to be able to pan fry. On the whole however, an exceptional piece of meat.

Recipes

Osso Bucco

This classic, rich veal stew from Milan is flavoured with garlic and salty anchovies. Ask the butcher to cut the hind shanks into large chunks. Large flameproof casserole. Good with a saffron-flavoured risotto, or plain boiled rice. Leftovers can be made into a ragú to spoon over pasta. Simply shred the meat and add more stock if the sauce is too thick.

Disclaimer

While we have taken care in preparing this summary and, to the best of our knowledge, believe it is accurate you should note that the summary product information (in particular the "Other Information" section) may change between the time you place your order on the website and the time your order is delivered (in this regard we rely on our suppliers to tell us of any changes in a timely manner so we can update our website). For example, as all meat and fish products are naturally farmed, there may be occasions when due to weather conditions we may need to source from alternative approved sources (and hence the product origin may change). Therefore, if you do require the most up-to-date product information following delivery of your order, please ensure you check the website for details.

If the summary product information contains a link to another party's website for further information on the product, please note that Ocado has no control over and no liability for the contents of that website.

You also need to be aware that for those service counter goods where we offer additional preparation services (ie removal of the head and tail of a fish or for a rack of lamb to be cut into cutlets), the price will be calculated based on the weight of the whole fish before the head and tail have been removed and the lamb rack before it has been cut into cutlets, should you request this service. The receipt and product label you receive will also show the actual weight of the whole fish and/or lamb rack (before the head and tail of the fish has been removed and the lamb rack has been cut into cutlets).
