Revealing about escalope (4)

I believe the answer is:
veal
'escalope' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'revealing about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'VEAL' can be found hidden inside 'revealing'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for veal that I've seen before include "Calf meat" , "what the meat course may be" , "White meat" , "Calf flesh" , "Calf's flesh as food" .)
