I understand my father in-law makes an incredible schnitzel. I have yet to try it, but there’s a sincere adoration from the other members of the family who have tasted this delectable dish. (Perhaps I’ll get to try it the next time we come for a visit…*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*)

My husband grew up in Germany . In fact being a part of the U.S. military, his parents are still there. Each Christmas we fly into Frankfurt and almost immediately begin our drive to Italy for a week of skiing. We stop overnight in southern Germany, just before crossing into Austria and then finally into Italy. While we’re there, I make certain to order a pork schnitzel. Battered, tender pork, fried until golden-brown with a squeeze of lemon on top – to die for! Throw a good German beer in there, and I’m in heaven.

In some areas you may see schnitzel served with pommes frites (fries), however I prefer it to be served with spaetzle – little egg dumplings tossed with butter. This is most certainly not a low- calorie dish. But it’s good… damn good. And it’s worth it!
