Schnitzel? Schnitzel!

“Schnitzel”
German, translates into:

  1.  cutlet, escalope
  2. chip 
  3. cuttings (pl.)
  4. scrap

 

from Wikipedia:
Wiener Schnitzel (Viennese Schnitzel in German, where Schnitzel means a cutlet without bones) is a traditional Austrian dish and is a popular part of Viennese and Austrian cuisine, consisting of a thin slice of veal coated in breadcrumbs and fried. In Austria the dish is traditionally served with a lemon slice,lingonberry jam and either potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter. While the traditional Wiener Schnitzel is made of veal, it is now sometimes made of pork, though in that case it is often calledSchnitzel Wiener Art (Germany) or Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein (Austria) to differentiate it from the original. In Austria, the term Wiener Schnitzel is protected by law, and any schnitzel called by that name has to be made from veal. The dish may have originated in Milan, northern Italy, as cotoletta alla milanese, and may have appeared in Vienna during the 15th or 16th century. According to another theory, it was introduced in 1857 by Field Marshal Radetzky, who spent much of his life in Milan. The termWiener Schnitzel itself dates to at least 1862.

    Wiener Schnitzel is my favorite meat-dish.
    You actually take the thinly cut veal, salt it,
    pepper it, and dip it in flower. Then you dip the
    cutlet into a whisked egg – and finally the
    meat is coated with bread crumbs. The best way
    to cook it is in the frying pan – with butter! I like
    to eat it with fresh garden salads. HMMMM!
