Schnitzel at the Chelsea
The Chelsea Hotel, Chatswood
Date: 6 December 2007-12-19
Price: $10 (i think)
Time: 12pm AEST
Date: 6 December 2007-12-19Price: $10 (i think)
Time: 12pm AEST
The chicken schnitzel with a side of mash and mushroom gravy was chosen as the lunch special. I and a fellow person both had this choice and comparison of our respective photos (only one posted so far) indicates the presentation of mine (see photo) was far more prettier. I thought it odd that there was several layers of mini-sized schnitzels piled on top of the mash (very interesting look), but I think after consuming the lot, I think the smaller pieces make you feel fuller by the end of it, and less cutting involved. Above average tasting schnitzel, just enough gravy, which was yummy. Mash was too creamy for my taste. I give it 3 stars out of 5.

Canterbury-Hurlstone Park
Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL
Date: 9th of December 2007
Type: Chicken
Price: Not sure..... possibly about$10
With: chips and salad
Well! It did the trick as far as satisfying my craving for something fattening was concerned. The chips were brilliant.... however, the schnitzel was quite sub-par. It was fairly tasteless and the chicken itself seemed to be floating around within the layer of crumbs. Very odd.
Note: cheap beer.

Glasgow Schnitzel
Staff restaurant, BBC Scotland, Pacific Quay, Glasgow.
Date: December 4th, 2007
Price: £4.10
Type: Pork
With: Apple sauce, sautée potatoes, red cabbage, mixed salad
£10 note for comparison, because I'd just used my £20 to buy my lunch. It's worth over AU$20, though.
A pretty big hunk of meat - I nearly had trouble finishing it. Done just right, and very tasty too. Nicely done potatoes, but the apples were a bit on the sour side, and the red cabbage was a little dry.

The Austrian Schnitzelhaus

Type: Chicken
Price: $19.00
With: pepper sauce, chips and salad.
Review: This actually wasn't my meal, so i can't tell you how good it was. Although, what I did eat, which was the Zigeuner Schnitzel (Gypsey Schnitzel = Not crumbed, topped with a spicy paprika, capsicum & onion sauce. Served with sauteed potatoes), was pretty awesome. It was the same size as the specimen pictured, was a good quality piece of meat and was a nice change from your usual crumbed schnitzel. Of course, not as big as they come, but as the waiter pointed out.... it's not the size that matters.

With: 1. Boscaioloa sauce and veggies, 2. stuffed with cheesy stuff, with a cheesy looking sauce and served with veggies.
Price: I can't really remember, they were definitely less than $20 though
Review:This is a lovely little café with some top quality Italian food. The schnitzel itself was very tasty and quite good value for money. Not as big as they come, but definitely not uber-processed crap.
The veggies were fairly average, but the wine was good and the several beers at the pub previously. mmmm oh... and the gelato on the way out. mmmm

Review: Very tasty, the snito's of the Exchange have been calling me back for over 2 years now, recently the size of them has reduced somewhat but as you can see they are still a very healthy portion! Definitely worth a crack.
Now that I have my regular camera phone back in business I shall send a few more in.

This was a great schnitty, not often do I go for the Parmigiana option, however in this case, its was pretty damn good. Chicken was thick and suculant. Anyone in the Adelaide area, I highly recommend dropping in and having a go at one of these. Very good size too. Delicious!

Price: $13.00
With: potato salad and greenery (and some onion)
It was a nice change to not have chips with the schnitzel but the schnitzel itself could have been a little better. I was slightly hungover on this occasion, so the oiliness really hit the spot. However, John seemed to think this was quite a special schnitzel (he's not been to the White Cockatoo though).

With: Mushroom Sauce, Chips, Salad
The schnitty was slightly small, so initial glance was not so favourable. However, the flavour and texture was excellent! Chips were good and the mushrooms were chunky and not over cooked like often are.
Certainly one of the best schnitties I've had in a while, could have been bigger, but smaller is better for my waist line...

Oktoberschnitzel
Oktoberfest at the Lowenbrau - The Rocks, Sydney
Date: 20th of October, 2007
Type: Chicken
With: veggies, mash and mayonnaisey stuff
This was possibly the worst schnitzel I've had. I will say, in their defence, that they were being mass produced for this occasion because the chicken inside was uber-processed and the coating was more of a batter than a crumb.
The mash was fairly good though and I did get to play a small cowbell.
I must admit, the point of eating this meal was more to make sure that the extreme volumes of beer weren't going down onto an empty stomach (an action that my body appreciated greatly the next day).

You can't really go wrong with something that's $5 (unless you're eating dinner at the Landsdowne)... yeah, i figured that even if I ate 3 mouthfuls I'd still be fine with the amount I spent.
Not worth anymore than $5 though, but if i was strapped for cash, this is where i'd head.
(Sorry about the shite photo, it was at this moment that i realised that my camera in my phone had no flash - and the lighting was turned down in the pub so you couldnt tell that those steaks you were eating were actually made from compressed dog food (possibly))

Another trip to the White Cockatoo
White Cockatoo Hotel, Terminus St, Petersham
Ah, these specimens were seen on a Campbell family jaunt to the White Cockatoo (where they also won the trivia night and won a handsome $40 voucher for the bottle shop).
A loverly time was had by all and schnitzel was eat for lunch for the rest of the week.
I can't even look at these schnitzels without feeling slightly ill.
Basically, I have to advice you to check this place out if you haven't already.
And make sure to own up if you have to have a post-schnitzel spew.

Just one thing... i wouldn't advise that you try the Sunday roast at this place. I've never eaten anything worse.

Have I got Schnitzels for you.....
Schnitzel from home...
.... but we call them 'cotolette'.
My Zia Vincenza made these. They're great. Obviously real chicken, and
heaps of parmesan and parsley in the crumb.
They cost me $0, but they probably cost her more than that.

This Schnitty was consumed by my friend on this occasion, rarely do I myself go for a veal schnitty, however I am led to believe that this was quite a good schnitty. The Chips were reported to be a bit "funny" tasting - possibly used old oil to fry them - unsure, but not that great flavour. Gravy was gravy, and well salad was freshish.
PS - no $20 note on hand on this occasion...

Schnitzel on the Rocks
The Mercantile Hotel, The Rocks, Sydney
Type: Chicken
Price: $16.50
With: mash, boiled carrots and some sort of cabbage concoction (and not in a good way)
Decent bit of chicken, but that's where the pleasantness ends at this pub. After we seemed to have angered the Irish food ordering lady for no good reason, we were too scared to ask for anything extra with our meals. Hence, no gravy and no extra bacon on the irish breakfast.
Anyway, not overly impressed at all.

The schnitzel, for the price, was crap (although others seemed to enjoy it more). But the chips were amazing (but i am easily pleased). Really... you dont really expect quality from RSL food, but this wasn't too bad.

$16.50 for a pub Schnitty places this one in the high end of the market, but admittedly it was pretty damn good. Two good size chicken pieces, mash, peas and carrots. Vegies were typical boiled till they die - but all good once mashed together and consumed with generous amounts of mushroom sauce. Definitely a pleasant experience!

Number 1 is a chicken parmy, which I ate, it was proper chicken, and a good size, for chicken.
Number 2 is a beef parmy, i didnt eat it.
These are from the Arkaba Hotel, which I wouldn't normally go to, except they were showing the soccer on the big screen (its a terrible, terrible pub. Mostly gambling and 40+ year olds lookin for a good time.)
Anyway, sorry about the photos, they were taken with a camera (as opposed to a small carrot), i remembered at the last minute.
Price: $13
With: either salad or vegies, 7 chips and a mini breadroll.

Apologies
Been a bit slack recently haven't we?
Well never fear! We have finally worked out how to get photos off mobile phones onto the computer.
The only problem with the length of time it has taken is that the schnitzel details are long forgotten.
Anyway, here's a few schnitzels to keep you going:
Souths Leagues Club, Merewether
(Newcastle)
Type: Chicken Parmigiana
With: chips and salad
Price: $15.00
Pleasant schnitzel, beautiful plateware, curly carrot.... only one issue with the food at Souths. The menu is a mixture of chinese dishes and standard aussie pub food. This isn't the problem, the problem is that anything that is deep fried will always taste like prawn crackers.
Luckily, i like prawn crackers.
World Cup Schnitzel - somewhere in Germany (submitted by Jamie)
Fairly massive looking, but no money for size comparison. *gasp*
With: crinkley chips and pepper sauce (?) and beer.
I can not, for the life of me, remember where this one was taken. If i remember, I'll let you know.
Escalope - it's french for schnitzel
THIS is really the closest thing you'll come to schnitzel in England (I guess it stems back to the war)
Turkey Escalopes - 3 for only 2 pounds! Bargain!

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!

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)
