Country Fried Weiner Schnitzel

    Upon arriving here and not having a kitchen to call our own for several weeks we were inevitably forced to find some source of nourishment ever night. This is much harder than you would think and thus caused our daily McDonald's and KFC visits.
   Aside from all the fast food we also ate at some very good German restaurants and our kids discovered their love for weiner schnitzel. The first night they ordered it at a local restaurant from a very nice English speaking waiter. The next time we were down and in the altstadt and when the non English speaking waiter came they took it upon themselves to order "the country fried steak."  He made a face and Michael swiftly corrected ... drei schnitzel bitte!
    OK I know country fired steak is made a little different (schnitzel is made of veal) but it's still delicious and the only thing it's missing is the white gravy. I'm sure if the locals tried some they would never go back.
   I think the next step is to learn to make it myself... recipe coming soon.
