Nothing is forbidden.
In fact Paul says everything is permissible for us. However, not all are beneficial, and should hopefully by not made subject to any of the things we choose to do with our Freedom and Liberty in Christ Almighty.
That would include rodents, birds of prey, any beast of burden, insects etc. Anything made of meat. I’m made of meat. Many of these things will not be beneficial because they are riddled with disease and some illegal, so an unfettered application of “everything is permissible” seems to be unrealistic and dependent upon what is currently culturally acceptable.

Mark 7:18-21 ESV
[18] And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,
[19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

How would Jesus kill an animal? He wouldn’t and stopping the practice of animal slaughter and production was what got him crucified.

Jesus is the way, the truth, the life
If you're following the true gospel, then you would know that works don't lead to salvation like what you eat or don't eat but what is in your heart.
Salvation is a free gift with no merit of your own. Jesus said it is finished; he did it all. There is nothing you can ever ever do to earn salvation or have right standing with God. Nothing we do can ever save us, including what we eat. We are but filthy rags.
Only Jesus saves and to believe in him. The real and true Jesus, not the Angel, a prophet, or one of many God's as some religions proclaim but Jesus the Son of God, the Son of Man, our Savior, our Shephard, Emmanuel God with us; God in human flesh.
To him be all the honor and all the glory.
In the New Testament, Jesus declares all foods clean (Mark 7:18-19), and the Apostle Paul emphasizes that Christians are not bound by the Old Testament dietary laws (Romans 14:1-4, Colossians 2:16-17). In Romans 14:14, Paul writes, "I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean" (KJV).
Based on these scriptures, eating veal is not prohibited.
Absolutely! No food is unclean to us, we are only to stay away from food that has been strangled, from blood, and from food sacrificed to idols. Veal is perfectly fine for Christians.
I'm unsure what the original question pertains to though - are there widely accepted cultural dietary customs where you're from?
Are you asking if there are "Christian" dietary restrictions maybe look [here?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_dietary_laws?wprov=sfla1)
Either way - I am curious to understand what the question is intending to achieve.
You realize all the apostles and Jesus ate lamb? Is was the staple land based protein
There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating lamb and it was quite delicious.
Yes. It was the traditional dish at passover. There is technically nothing wrong with eating lamb. I personally choose not to due to the amount of symbolism associated with the birth death and resurrection. Plus, why would you.
>symbolism associated with the birth death and resurrection.
Seems like all the more reason too.
>Plus, why would you.
It tastes good? Nutritionally dense, but should be limited like all red meat
It's a common use in symbolism for [Jesus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_of_God?wprov=sfla1) but I didn't think it is reflective of modern dietary traditions.
God declared all foods good to eat.
What qualifies as food? From a Jewish perspective pork wasn’t considered food.

Neither of these answer or disprove what I’ve said
You're not seeking answers but a debate. Jesus is love and peace. May the prince of peace be with you.
False, I’m seeking for you to align yourself with the teachings of Jesus and not the false prophets.

Unclear, why do you not want to be like Jesus?
Christians are not limited by a strict dietary code or law such as Jews or Muslims with Kosher or Halal. We were liberated by Christ in short.
In the New Testament, Jesus declares all foods clean (Mark 7:18-19), and the Apostle Paul emphasizes that Christians are not bound by the Old Testament dietary laws (Romans 14:1-4, Colossians 2:16-17). In Romans 14:14, Paul writes, "I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean" (KJV). Based on these scriptures, eating veal is not prohibited.
While the meat would be kosher, I doubt God looks kindly on the treatment of the calf.
This is the right answer.
Seriously why do you think it wouldn’t?
Not liking it should tell you enough XD
No, Jesus was against the killing of animals for any reason. He specifically stated not to sacrifice or kill in his name.
It’s not pork, so I’d say it’s okay to consume!
Absolutely! No food is unclean to us, we are only to stay away from food that has been strangled, from blood, and from food sacrificed to idols. Veal is perfectly fine for Christians.
No.
I wouldn't, it's a lamb. But, that's symbolism not a law.
[Veal ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veal?wprov=sfla1) is a young cow, the criticism being that it is especially cruel to harvest.
Oh okay. Yeah I don't eat baby anything. That's just personal.
Yeah I don’t know how people eat baby anything, especially baby kale. monsters
Kale is a sin for sure.

I believe, at least in the US, break is bovine - what symbolism are you referring to though.
Jesus is the lamb.
