Rose veal means it got to eat grass so it is more humane than boxed veal.

It's just an old word for beef(or lamb or pork) minced.This is from Wikipedia:~Forcemeat (derived from the French farcir, "to stuff") is a uniform mixture of lean meat with fat made by grinding, sieving, or puréeing the ingredients. The result may either be smooth or coarse.
