In Germany, Schnitzel is usually made of pork, although turkey, chicken and veal are also common. The pork loin is pounded to a 1 cm thickness, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then dipped into flour, egg and bread crumbs. It is usually served with French fries, mashed potatoes, or Spätzle. The dish has been extremely popular since the end of the Second World War.
