schnitzel, my schnitzel

A few weeks ago I was walking under a light snow fall in Vienna. We were only there for a day tour, luckily our tour guide and driver were kind enough to squeeze showing us the main points of interest and for a finale, led us to Figlmueller for an authentic taste of the iconic and legendary Viennese Schnitzel.

It took almost an hour for 6 orders of schnitzel and potato salad to come to our table - we were thinking how difficult can frying some meat be? well now with this video I now know why, and in all fairness it was the best schnitzel I have ever had to (including the one's Ive had during my first trip to Austria in Tyrol a few years ago) and the potato salad that we ordered with it is THE perfect accompaniment to it.

winner winner chicken dinner!

whenever I don't feel like slaving too much in the kitchen and want something fast and cheap, my go to option is to get a whole Roasted Chicken.

In cases like this I dress it up a bit and throw in some veggies and a sauce to give it more flavor and liven it up.
