Jackson County veal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Jackson County veal is a type of sandwich served primarily in Jackson County, Ohio. Unlike a standard veal, which is made of the meat of young cows, a Jackson County veal is a large piece of pork. The meat is deep fried and served on a bun, typically with pickles. The size of the sandwich varies depending on the preparer, but is always noticeably larger than a standard hamburger or chicken sandwich.
This sandwich is also known as a tenderloin in the Midwest (Iowa, Illinois and Missouri) due to the pork tenderloin being its main ingredient.
[edit] Trivia
- The Wellston Veal Festival was held on May 28, 2005 in Pride Park in the city of Wellston, Ohio. The event, organized by the Central Business District Committee, featured a booth where free Jackson County veals were prepared and served, with donations accepted. The festival is expected to be held annually.
