Schnitzel n (genitive Schnitzels, plural Schnitzel)
- cutlet (slice of filet meat)
Usage notes[edit]
- German Schnitzel is not the same as English schnitzel, which is generally taken to be a breaded cutlet. Although this form of preparation is rather common in German-speaking countries, it is by no means definitive of Schnitzel.
- Given the general meaning of the word, the idea that “Schnitzel” is a dish typical of German/Austrian cuisine is unknown to these countries (or has, at most, recently been introduced from the Anglophone world).
