With a mother like Zita, who can blame him ....

Yes, he didn't seem to have inherited much of his paternal
granfather's brains.

But he inherited his lip ...

No worries about powidla. That was a fair exchange
for a wiener schnitzel.
(or as they call it in some Sydney restaurants, snitchel :-)

Which we stole from the Italians (piccata Milanese) and refined
the recipe.

Really? I didn't know that! Well done that Viennese chefs!

They've also taken Pörkölt and transformed it to Gulasch.

I had absolutely the best Böhmische Suppe ever in a restaurant
just 'round the corner from Stefanplatz. The added spice
was the fact that until it came to my table I had absolutely
no idea what kind of soup was called Böhmische Suppe in
Vienna. HA! Creamy Knoblauchsuppe!

I bet it was in spring / early summer when you had that soup.
I suspect it was Bärlauchsuppe.
Bärlauch tastes like Knoblauch, but is milder.

Hmmm, Milano, if I am not mistaken that's in Lombardy, just
the other side of the old imperial border. So, it _was_ stealing.
Are you sure it wasn't just a friendly culinary fussion from
some piccata Veneto?

No. It came into being after the Italian campaigns of Feldmarschall
Radetzky.

Aaah, a booty!

Rousing tune of Radetzky march is ringing in my head...

Wait a minute.... That late? Really?

Yes.
August 6th. , 1848.
Radetzky wrote about the situation in Lombardia, but being an Austrian,
he also mentioned the c.o.a. (see below).
The original dish was "costoletta alla milanese", not piccata. Sorry,
my memory failed here.
Although panierte Schnitzel are much older, the Wienerschnitzel was that
late.

<snip PIEFL>
Err, no. That would be secondary sources ! We'll need to find
the original scratchings ;-)

What a perfectionist!

We take our Gummiadler (Brathendl) very serious ;-)

Cheers,
