Canterbury-Hurlstone Park

Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSLDate: 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

The Austrian Schnitzelhaus, Victoria Rd, GladesvilleDate: 29th of November, 2007
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.

Northern Star Cafe

Northern Star Cafe, Beaumont St, Hamilton

1. Schnitzel Boscaiola

2. Stuffed something-or-other (probably veal, as i dont think my mother eats chicken)

Date: 23rd of November, 2007

Type: 1. Chicken and 2. (probably) Veal

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

The Exchange Hotel

The Exchange Hotel, Hamilton, Newcastle

Date: 13th November, 2007

Type: Chicken

With: Bosciola sauce, chips and salad

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.

Hooroo,

Griffen's Head Hotel - Adelaide
Date: November 9th, 2007
Price: $15.90
Type: Chicken
With: parmigiana, cheese, chips and salad

...WOW.

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!

The Quarrymans Hotel

The Quarrymans Hotel, Pyrmont

Date: 28th October 2007
Type: Chicken and Chicken Parmigiana
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).
