A GERMAN CLASSIC - WIENER SCHNITZEL

Why I Like it

Wiener Schnitzel, a breaded and fried meat cutlet, traditionally served with lemon, potatoes, and a fresh salad, offers a crispy exterior and tender interior. Whether you choose pork, chicken, or veal, schnitzel is a dish that promises satisfaction. Its charm lies in its simplicity and the perfect balance of textures- the crisp, golden breading and the tender, juicy meat inside. Traditionally served with a slice of lemon, potatoes, a fresh salad, and a sauce, that epitomises comfort food.

My Personal Touch

I first tried Schnitzel on my initial trip to Germany, when I worked as an Au pair. My German host family took me to a traditional German restaurant, where Schnitzel was ordered. From the first bite, I was hooked. The dish delighted my palate and served as a warm introduction that reminded me of the enrichment of my time abroad.

Recommendation

For those eager to taste Wiener Schnitzel, I suggest seeking out authentic German eateries known for their traditional preparations. Pair it with a German beer or a crisp Riesling for a truly immersive experience in German Gastronomy.
