Mike- Schnitzel is german for "cutlet" - usually veal or pork. It is derived from the german word "schnitzen" - to carve. The most popular (at least for tourists) is Wiener Schnitzel - or Vienese Cutlet- a fried breaded veal cutlet, but there are many types depending on preparation and sauce. I can't tell you where to find the best, but suggest you try the many different types. Guten Apetit!

One of the simplest but tastiest meals I've had was Weiner Schnitzel (Viennese cutlet - although is cutlet correct? I always thought cutlets were on the bone whereas schnitzel is boneless - thinly sliced veal, breadcrumbed and quick fried, served with lemon-dripped rice) at a Hungarian restaurant with a French name in Wellington, New Zealand!

Schnitzel is the cut (cutlet pounded thin) of meat (veal or pork - menu will say which). It can be prepared in a bunch of different way - including Wiener (Vienna) which is breaded and quickly sauteed, Jaeger (hunter) in a mushrom sauce, etc.

And last but not least "Zigeunerschnitzel" (gypsy schnitzel-a spicy chili-based sauce.
The upshot is, if you don't like eating dead calves' flesh, (i.e., veal) you can substitute chicken, turkey, any kind of dead animal flesh can essentially be pounded into a "schnitzel!"

This is my kind of thread. Also Rahmschnitzel and schnitzel holstein (I'm not checking my spelling, but second one comes with an egg on top). If you want the pork version, look for schweinschnitzel. Richard, you made me laugh. Yum. J.
