Quote from: Zanza on November 19, 2018, 12:27:10 PMService is extremely arrogant and condescending. And their Schnitzel is pork, not deal.  :huh:

It's Vienna. Unfriendly service is part of the charm. :P (Stay away from Blauensteiner, then ;) )

Regarding veal vs. pork schnitzel - yes, traditionally veal is considered "the" schnitzel, but pork schnitzel is well accepted as also being "original" these days.

Don't think I've ever had a veal one.
I must get to Wien.

I must say I don't think I care for schnitzel. Too dry with that breading.

Proper schnitzel with sour cream and onion sauce is delicious. :mmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Blasphemy. Proper schnitzel will have a slice of lemon if you're lucky, or nothing at all.

Which is why it's usually called "Bröslfetzen" (crumb rag). And why you get lemon and (usually) lingonberry sauce. :P I prefer Cordon Bleu myself. Expertly done it's crispy outside, and the ham/cheese inside keep it juicy. Or I just go for a chicken schnitzel. :D

I did say "click on the spin rapidly"....I guess I should have said "very fast. "
