Schnitzel is a breaded and fried meat cutlet that is popular in German cuisine. In Munich, the most common type of schnitzel is made from pork, although veal and chicken schnitzels are also available. The meat is pounded thin, coated in breadcrumbs, and then fried until crispy. Schnitzel is typically served with a side of potato salad or fries, and a wedge of lemon for added tanginess.
