Berlin, 15 January 2016 – The tour made by government ministers at the kick-off to International Green Week Berlin (IGW) has become something of a tradition. Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture Christian Schmidt and the Dutch State Secretary of Economic Affairs Martijn van Dam visited several stands at the exhibition, which is currently open in Berlin. At the stand belonging to the VanDrie Group, the global market leader for veal, a varied breakfast was on offer: the ministers sampled miniature veal schnitzels, burgers and wraps.
Dutch head chef Edgar Buhrs prepared the delicious mini veal dishes on site. Visitors to the exhibition were also able to enjoy the fresh delicacies once the ministers had completed their tour. With his trio of schnitzel, burger and wrap, the head chef demonstrated the versatility of veal. This delicious product has several benefits that win people over: it is wonderfully tender, low in calories and is easy to digest. As a result, it is just as suitable for use in traditional dishes as it is in trendy dishes or healthy snacks.
