What is your favourite Schnitzel topping?

I would have to say I enjoy a nachos topping, having a nachos on top of a chicken schnitzel is simply tantalising.

I also like those that have something along the lines of salami and olives with cheese, usually referred to as Tuscany.

And of course having lived in South Australia for awhile I just can't go past the parmigiana topping (aka a parmi)

So what is yours?

Karate

Jäger.

I like naturschnitzel.

Karate
Hehe, very nice.

I prefer my Schnitzel just with a hint of lemon, and as a side-dish green salad and fries.

Jäger.

This. There is no substitute.

Ahhh, Schnitzel. Basically how I get energy to my body when I'm in Central Europe. So I love it with a bit of lemon, parm or an egg fried on the top.

Also, Schnitzel is best when it is true veal Wienerschnitzel. Second best when it's chicken and third best (read least best) when it's pork.

Everything is improved by putting a fried egg on top of it.
In fact, I think I'm going to improve myself right now.

In most cases that's true, but not always :tongue:

The best Schnitzel is the Wienerschnitzel (which isn't a Schnitzel with Wienerwurst topping!).
Anyway, even better, the Milanese cutlet.

When saying Wiener I am assuming you mean Veal?

If so than yes indeed it is, and that is what I will usually get, if less hungry I will just get chicken.

Jäger.

I seem to remember having something with this in the name while in Germany a few years back unfortunately this is one meal I don't really remember, maybe it was badly cooked.

Please refresh my memory as to what Jäger actually is.

I know it is hunter in German

Oh and what is Karate?

Das ist des Jägers Ehrenschild,
Daß er beschützt und hegt sein Wild,
Weidmännisch jagt, wie sich’s gehört,
Den Schöpfer im Geschöpfe ehrt.

Yeah. I said 'veal Wienerschnitzel'. :wink:

It is a Japanese martial art

Thanks very much now can you tell me what I was asking? What is karate in regards to a schnitzel topping?

In most cases that's true, but not always :tongue:

I CAN'T HEAR YOU, THERE'S EGG YOLK IN MY EARS!

Also, those eggs appear to be defying gravity. Perhaps they are related to those clams that always hang around mermaids? Or that infuriating steam!

I believe she wants you to eat the eggs.

Ew, schnitzel.

Ew, fried eggs on breasts...

Agreed.

Ah, yes I love that especially when my mum makes it from scratch rather than when I simply buy the cutlets already crumbed.

yep don't know this except for wie=how and sich referring to one's self
also this one something about animals?

I know what Jagermeister is, I drink it on a regular basis, I was wondering what Jager schintzel refers to.

Yeah. I said 'veal Wienerschnitzel'. :wink:

Yeah, ok now I am more confused?

Ew, schnitzel.

You don't like schnitzel? :confused:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23ieN67_3mc

Ah I see, I must remember to use that my roommate drinks my beer without asking.

You don't like schnitzel? :confused:

It's Nanatsu. Besides, jagerschnitzel is something I always thought of as "guy food".

I believe she wants you to eat the eggs.
Until I figure out just how it is that those eggs are hovering in place, I'm not coming anywhere near them.
Ew, fried eggs on breasts...
It would probably be at least a little ... greasy. Especially since those appear to be sunny side up, so the yolk is just waiting to burst and run all over the place. Rather gross indeed.

You don't like schnitzel? :confused:

Nope. I tried it once in Frankfurt and I didn't like the taste.

A Kushiki Rukkia. I like!

Jägerschnitzel is yer regular Schnitzel in a mushroom-based sauce. I really like it, I know a lot of people who don't.

o_O

Toppings for Schnitzel? Australia is weiiiird.

Here, Schnitzel comes either breaded (Wiener Schnitzel style) or unbreaded with different kinds of gravy (dark & with mushrooms = Jägerschnitzel; creamy = Rahmschnitzel; with bell pepper = Zigeunerschnitzel (un-PC, maybe it has another name these days or has disappeared from menus altogether, wouldn't be a big loss IMO).

Why is it un-PC? Does Zigeuner mean "dirty Turk" or something?

You were indeed, connotations and all.

I dunno, quite a lot of European languages have similar words - the French have "Tzigane" etc.

Why would anybody put toppings on a schnitzel? It'll go all soggy and yucky.

Is there anything tastyer than Jäger?
NO!
=)
NOW I AM HUNGRY!

Indeed.

This is the hunters salute

yep don't know this except for wie=how and sich referring to one's self
also this one something about animals?

This is the Hunter's sign of honor that he protects and cherishes his hunt. Hunt nobely, like one should, the creations of the Creator.

That's my translation.:p


I know what Jagermeister is, I drink it on a regular basis, I was wondering what Jager schintzel refers to.
Some kind of mushroom sauce for the Schnitzel, if you were to order a Jägerschnitzel.


Yeah, ok now I am more confused?
A proper Wienerschnitzel is supposed to be of Veal. However, people/places try to pass off chicken or pork Wienerschnitzels as Wienerschnitzels. . . I hate that.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU, THERE'S EGG YOLK IN MY EARS!

Also, those eggs appear to be defying gravity. Perhaps they are related to those clams that always hang around mermaids? Or that infuriating steam!
I think you're onto something there...
But I would first eat the eggs, and later go for the clam. :eek2:
Ew, schnitzel.
Yum, Schnitzel!

It is the hunter's honor-shield,
that he his game protects and fosters,
sportsmanlike hunts, how it befits,
the creator in the creature honors.

Dunno about where you are, but in Germany and Austria they can only call those "Schnitzel Wiener Art" if it's not veal. Not Wiener Schnitzel.

Nope. I tried it once in Frankfurt and I didn't like the taste.

Fair enough

What not even gravy?

Yeah yum, maybe that is one of the reasons why I didn't really remember it as it is what I will usually have when at home.

Ok, cheers, and German Nightmare's translation also seems to work

Both are better than mine :p

Yeah ok, well I always had in my mind a wienerschnitzel would be veal,but ok sure.

parmigiana

I've never eaten a schnitzel. I even used to live two doors down from a Swiss restaurant and never went in. It's definitely on my lists of things to try. :p

Hey, hey someone else who shares my love of parmi's

Swiss Schitzel's are alright too, of course this restaurant might be serving it with a whole range of toppings

I've never eaten (a?) schnitzel.

Ketchup and Worcestshire sauce! Also souls, yummy yummy souls!

Ketchup and Worchestshire sauce!

Worchestshire? I think you mean Worcester.

*facepalms* Ok I am doing it wrong! It has been edited. I was doing it as I said it aloud as I am not from the UK, but from the USA. HOLY CARP! That rhymes!

I was doing it as I said it aloud

It's not even pronounced like how you typed it though. It's pronounced Wusster.

I'm from the US, so I pronounce things differently then other parts of the world. Plus, I pronounce it as: Woarsht-chest-sure.

Then you're completely wrong. If anything it should be pronounced Worsester or Workester, but not woarsht-chest-sure.

Lol wut :D

Ah you crazy yanks.

Ive never eaten a schnitzel. It sounds German so can i assume it tastes bland and is some form of meat stuffed into some kind of casing?

Jawohl, which is why you have it in some kind of sauce.
