If you ask Arnie Schwarzenegger what he misses most about his Austrian homeland, he’ll tell you Mozart’s music and wiener schnitzel.
Long a staple on dinner tables around the globe, this Viennese specialty even has its own National Day on Thursday, September 9. While schnitzels vary from chicken to pork, in Austria there is a law that requires the dish to be made strictly with veal.
Here in Australia, we like to top our schnitzels with anything we can get our hands on! Most pubs and clubs have schnitzel nights, where chicken parmigiana schnitzel is one of the most popular items on the menu, topped with cheese, ham and tomato sauce.
Want to find the perfect schnitzel on Thursday? Here are four suggestions near you:
