Austrian Schnitzel

My family from Germany is visiting and when they do, I always look forward to good German and Austrian cooking. A few days ago they made mashed potatoes with chicken schnitzel, one of my favorites. I was so excited about eating that I forgot to take pictures, but I looked some up on the web to include here anyways. Schnitzel is usually made from veal or pork and is a large thin piece of meat, usually pounded to make it extra thin, and coated in breadcrumbs before being fried. It's usually served with fries and a salad, but sometimes the piece is so darn big, nothing else fits on the plate. Similar to fried fish, think fish sticks, it is served with lemon wedges to squeeze over before devouring.
