In October 2025, my wife & I visited Europe, and we visited Paris, France for a few days.  One day when we were there, we ate lunch at a restaurant called Le Petit Chatelet (just down the street from Notre Dame Cathedral), and we had a veal stew, which we really enjoyed.  It was very fragrant and savory.  It was listed on their menu simply as veal stew, but I looked it up online, and it seems it was veal marengo.  This is a photo:

I tried making some after we got back home (though I used beef, since not many stores here carry veal), though it didn't come out quite the same as the restaurant's version. I want to try making it again, so yesterday I went to a local butcher shop and bought some veal, and I'll be shopping for groceries today & will buy ingredients to make it.  I looked up another recipe online (using Google AI to help), and I'll see how it turns out.
