Revealing about escalope (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'escalope' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'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" .)
