FIRST! There's got to be a German restaurant somewhere in town where you can get authentic wiener schnitzel. We have several German joints up here in H'ville.

http://go.montgomeryadvertiser.com/fe/reviews/missmarys.asp Here's a quote from the review: The menu touts authentic German cuisine since Chef Renate Hasler Lindsey is a native of Kindsbach, Germany...The schnitzel (fried cutlets) and knodel (potato dumplings) were both pretty good. The schnitzel had been well pounded to a thin piece, breaded and fried to a nice crispness.

Hey, I lived in Germany for 8 years - my father was in the military. My favourite thing to eat was the frites with mayo - God that was good. I finally found the good type of mayo at a Dutch grocery store here in town. Keep up with your search for the schnitzel, man. You'll find it someday. If not, I'll go to your place and make it for ya! :-)

Unfortunately, I have had a similar incident with expensive meat and lemon juice. What I have been told by those in the know is that the acid in the lemon juice--when left in contact with a "delicate" meat such as veal for an extended period of time--essentially cooks the meat. So by the time you fried it, it had already been "cooked" once. While such techniques are good for tough pieces of meat like a flank steak, with veal, you are essentially making high grade shoe leather at that point.

Maybe the weinerschnitzel was reminiscent of "the ass end of a menstruating skunk"? I walked past a dead cow that had been drowned in a Texas flood once. I heard a rustling behind me and turned to take a look. Lo and behold, a possum had burrowed into the carcass and was eating it from inside out. Long story short; try soaking the veal in milk next time.

I'm so impressed that there's a city in the US that has a Dutch grocery store. Clogs and Chocolate? Tulips? Hashish and Whores?

This is off-topic, sorry. I am a new reader, but I have read some of your entries and from what I can gather, you have had some bad experiences with this website. I understand that someone has paid you up on the gold membership thing, but have you considered taking your business to blogger? It's free and pretty easy to use, although I am sure you have way more experience dealing with the web and html junk than me. Anyway, it was just a suggestion. I really enjoy reading your diary o' chuckles, it's hilarious!

I imagined your boss walking away, shaking his head "Veal? VEAL?!?! We pay piss boy waaaaay too much".

I was a foreign exchange student in Austria and was talking with someone about cooking some of the food I had tried in Austria when I got home. Someone who had traveled here said that you really can't cook proper Wienerschnizel here because our veal isn't fresh enough and it will never be the same...

Even San Antonio has a German restaurant that'll make you want to cry with joy. I always get the ramschnitzel, and I don't know what that meat is, but it's fried, and has gravy and those little pan-fried German potatoes...oh my. I will never try this at home.

You guys haven't lived until you've tried authentic gerbilschnitzel! Amazing, nutty flavor.

I was okay until I got to Rodney's severed rectum. HAVE YOU NO SHAME, MAN?!?!? I liked Rodney too, a lot; now every time I hear his schtick I'm going to be visualing his poor dead ass' ass. Thanks for nothing, you bastard!!!

Hey... hey, I was just wondering... that is, is it really true... I'm curious to know if... well... um, is dead ass crack hair really crispy? (Because, if so, it may just make a lovely salad topping.)

I stayed on base at Baumholder a couple years ago while visiting a friend stationed there. I can only assume it was even more drab when you were a child there.

live raccoon face is really good, except maybe if you're a vegan.

What happened was that the acid denatured the proteins in the veal WAY too much... You should read a little bit about food science - it's very interesting and you learn all kinds of nifty things about why food does what it does. (BTW, I'm in culinary school. It was required learning)

Y'know, the ONE night I decide to read Uncle Bob while eating dinner...

Yes, I guess good ol' UB wanted to make sure that if he didn't enjoy his dinner, none of us would. Congrats, UB. Mission accomplished.

Well, I don't know about the veal, but remind me never to eat a steak you prepared.

But you might be able to trick me into eating a piece of your special almond rocca. --P.P.
