Dutch term or phrase: met een stukje kalfssukade
Op lage temperatuur gebraden kalfshaas met een stukje kalfssukade gepresenteerd op een puree van pastinaak met een saus van armagnac en gekonfijte ui

Item on a menu celebrating a company's anniversary. I've found various translations ranging from veal stew beef, arm of veal (?), shoulder of veal, veal brisket (=breast) to stewed candied peel of veal (????). Apart from being inconsistent, none of these sounds particularly appetising for a posh menu. Tempted to miss it out (!) unless anyone has any tasty ideas!

English translation:shoulder of veal steak, or veal shoulder steak
Explanation:
Sukade refers to the shoulder and is usually for stewing, as it's less tender than more prime parts of meat. The term is only used for beef and/or veal.

Think I'll leave out the 'steak', as it sounds more like a cut of meat than a menu item. I'll probably go for 'braised shoulder of veal' or similar. Thanks, everyone!

with a piece / slice of veal bacon


Explanation:
sukade can mean spek - translated to bacon or fat, so this would be my guess. Veal bacon / veal fat.

disagree  Suzanne Jansen: Sorry to sound mean, but in NL or Belgium sukade never has the meaning of spek or bacon. Sukade is an unprocessed, relatively lean, tough-ish cut of meat. But can it perhaps be spek in Afrikaans? :)

disagree  Suzanne Jansen: Although sukade can mean candied peel, it definitely does not mean this in the case of kalfssukade (cf 'sukadelapje')
