Pan Fried Chicken Schnitzels
with Jaegersauce

So there are several styles of schnitzel depending on where you visit.

Bob Grafton of this newsletter wrote me back telling me about schnitzel in the Rhineland Pfalz area or state..............

I cook schnitzel at home a couple of times a month and wanted to share a secret I learned. Our local grocery stores here in Colorado Springs sell pork cutlets that have been "cubed".

It's the same preparation they do for cubed steak. I find that it saves me a lot of time and effort to buy these cutlets cubed as I don't have to worry about pounding them out.

I then spice them with salt and pepper, dip them in milk, then coat them in flour. I put them in the fride for 15 minutes, then I dip them in egg and dredge in a breadcrumbs I get from our local German deli. It makes a wonderful schnitzel.

As with everything in Germany, the area you are in determines the style of food you get. This is the kind of schnitzel we got in Rheinland-Pfalz. The schnitzels I got in Bayern were completely different

Brad Brickey writes about a Bacon Schnitzel he had in Damstadt

Herr Block,

One schnitzel I remember from the Treßen(?) Restaurant in Darmstadt had a mushroom gravy with 2 thick slabs of bacon and herb butter on top and it was served with fried potatoes and red cabbage sauerkraut. Loved that combo. Whenever I make it back to Darmstadt I'll make sure to see if that place is still in business.
