What does VEALY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
raretechnical
Resembling veal, or, of a young calf, still immature and unweaned.
A vealy calf is one still young enough to be raised for veal, pale, soft-fleshed and not yet weaned onto solid feed, while vealy meat is meat that looks or tastes like veal, pale and tender rather than firm and dark. Farmers and butchers use the word to judge how young and undeveloped an animal is before slaughter. Cooks occasionally borrow it to describe meat with a similarly pale, mild character even when it is not veal itself. The word stays close to its root, veal, simply adding the adjective ending -y.
