I buy veal shoulder chops at PriceChopper regularly.
Good for a braise. My thinking that a "real"
veal chop is a young t bone/porterhouse steak.
I don't see them....
Veal breast at a local store on occasion.

Veal must have been cheaper and more common in the past,
the family had veal cutlets once a week or so. Probably in the 70's.

I remember restaurants having veal shank specials.
