SC -veal longings

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Actually, the definition of veal is a calf that is raised in absolute
immobility. They are crated in to that all they have to do is eat, crap and
sleep...that way the muscle doesn't have the opportunity to get tough...

Just a question though, does anyone know of a supplier for horns? I have
friends of mine that are despirately trying to get a hold of a supplier.
