Rats not Rice

As regards kosher slaughter, not only does the blade have to be very sharp,
it must be smooth and undamaged so as not to snag on the animal. The main
vein must be cut to ensure instant death.

BTW, contrary to what Bognor Huwie thinks about white veal, the truth is
worse. The animals are reared in a dark shed. If veal is dark the animal
has been reared more naturally.

Yes, proper Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) is delicious. Unfortunately
in many restaurants in Germany and nearby countries they reduce the price by
using pork. Best to go to northern Italy -- a region I call Germany
South -- for good veal Schnitzels.

I am happy to eat veal or any other meat when driving in a BMW.

Could be dangerous and illegal especially here in the UK.
