Another from the White Cockatoo - the Mexican

so wrong, yet so right

First Non-Australian Schnitzel

Red Lion Tavern

Type: Chicken Schnitzel

Comment: The waitress never brought me the Spaten Optimator, but I was too hungry to go and get her, so no beer.

Elephant & Wheelbarrow, St Kilda

Elephant & Wheelbarrow, St Kilda, Melbourne
Date: March 4th, 2007
Price: $16.90
Type: Chicken parmigiana
With: chips and salad

Small in size, but decent quality. Actually flattened chicken, not this "shaped" malarky!

Shame about the fact that this pub seems to be a haven for backpackers.

Also, whilst in Melbourne, i noticed that the parmigiana seems to be on most pubs menus, rather that the plan old schnitzel. Those crazy victorians... next thing you'll be telling me that don't drink schooners of beer!

Alfred Hotel, Camperdown

Alfred Hotel, Missenden Road, Camperdown
Date: February 25th, 2007
Price: $6.00 plus a drink purchase
Type: Chicken
With: Mushroom sauce and mash

Terrible schnitzel.... processed chicken.... i'm hoping that it was just because it was ordered off the cheap menu. All the other meals coming out of the kitchen looked decent.

White Cockatoo Hotel - again

Well.... if you've been there, you'll understand.
Schnitzel at the White Cockatoo Hotel is no normal schnitzel.

What kind of chicken does it come from?
How many different toppings can you add to a schnitzel?

It's where the schnitzel safari was born.

Anyway....

22nd of February....
aside from the standard: schnitzel with mushroom sauce....

We have a couple of additions this time.



The Marinara Schnitzel (thanks to the peoples at the table next to us)... with prawns and calamari rings piled on top.


The Supreme Schnitzel.... with a whole sliced tomato, a diced pig (in ham form) most of a red onion and a block of cheese.


.....and since the last time i visited, they've done away with trying to fit your salad on the same plate and instead, put it in a handy side bowl. (modelled here with a $5 note that was won on the chocolate wheel - which has nothing to do with chocolate)

Petersham RSL

Petersham RSL, Petersham, Sydney
Price: $8.50 (for members...$9.50 otherwise)
