Schnitzel
A schnitzel is a thin slice of meat (usually pork, veal, chicken, or turkey) that is dredged in flour, eggs, and bread crumbs, then fried. The dish is popular in many Central European countries and has been adopted by other nations as well.
The earliest known recipe for schnitzel comes from Austria and dates back to the 18th century. It was originally made with pork, but veal soon became the meat of choice. The dish gained popularity throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire and eventually spread to other parts of Europe and beyond.
Today, schnitzel is a staple of German and Austrian cuisine, but it can also be found in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and many other countries. In some regions, the dish is known by different names, such as escalope (France), cotoletta (Italy), or milanesa (Latin America).
