calfflesh

Where it comes from

From Middle English calfflesch, equivalent to calf + flesh. Compare Dutch kalfsvlees (“veal”), German Kalbfleisch (“veal”).

noun calf-flesh · calf flesh

nonstandard, uncountable The meat or flesh of a calf; veal. The calf should be allowed to suckle or to be fed from the pail for six or eight months. It has then strength to stand weaning, and, if properly cared for, will not be checked in its growth, and it will retain the good calfflesh it has put on.
Similar: calfmeat
