Borjú

Borjú is the Hungarian word for calf. It refers to a young domestic cattle, typically less than a year old. Borjú are the offspring of a cow and a bull. The term is commonly used in agriculture and in culinary contexts. In Hungarian cuisine, borjú is a popular meat, often prepared in various stews, roasts, and schnitzels. Borjú meat is known for its tenderness and milder flavor compared to mature beef. The meat's texture and taste can vary depending on the calf's age and diet. Younger borjú generally yield more delicate meat. The raising of borjú is a significant part of the cattle industry in Hungary and many other parts of the world. The welfare of borjú is an important consideration in modern farming practices. In some cultures, calves are also kept for dairy production before they are of an age to be considered beef. The term "borjú" is specific to the Hungarian language and does not have a direct, universally recognized English equivalent beyond "calf."
