🥩 Wiener Schnitzel
- What it is: A thin slice of veal (traditionally), breaded and fried until golden.
- How it’s served: With potato salad (Erdäpfelsalat) or parsley potatoes, and often a slice of lemon.
- Important detail: Authentic Wiener Schnitzel is made from veal—if it’s pork, it’s usually called Schnitzel Wiener Art.
