Schnitzel at the Chelsea

The Chelsea Hotel, Chatswood
Date: 6 December 2007-12-19
Price: $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 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,
Pat
