I was at the market this weekend when i came across this being offered for £10.00 a pack

The Butcher was offering it to me as shin beef on the bone but when I said it was small for beef and inquired if it was veal, he looked rather taken aback and said no, and that it was very young beef ! As soon as I mentioned 'Osso bocco he realised that the game was up and agreed it was Veal.

The pack contained 15 pieces of osso bucco and all were decent quality. What i don't understand is the secrecy regarding veal as I'm sure that if he had come clean and advertised them correctly, then the price would almost be double what he was charging. Maybe the market is not 'up-market' enough ? Anyone else come across this type of 'denial' were veal is concerned. By the way, I believe this to be the Rose' type veal of and not the milk fed anemic stuff everyone used to protest about.
