Baby cows

So last night I had a work dinner at which one of the courses was soup with "essence of Kalbsschwanz"--calf's tail. I was a bit skeptical, but I have to say it was delicious. Then I guess they figured since we were already eating the tail, why stop there? So our main course was Kalbshaxe--knuckle of veal. Definitely an acquired taste--which I obviously haven't acquired. I generally like veal a lot (which is good because it seems to be the primary meat of choice here), but I don't like to think too much about what I'm eating...
