Schnitzel is a traditional Austrian meal that consist of a boneless meat that is dipped or coated in flour, egg, and bread crumbs. After being covered with those ingredients, it is then fried in butter or oil to a golden brown colour. When served, it's usually comes with lemon and most of the time - with chips. Even though it's usually made with veal, the schnitzel can also be made from chicken, and other types of meat.

In counties that speak German, the term Schnitzel translates into 'cutlets'. The word comes from the word sniz, meaning 'cut'. The popular term, Wiener Schnitzel, dates back from the 1840's. Wiener Schnitzel is a specific type of schnitzel, as it's comes from the Viennese cuisine. It's made from veal and it's usually served with a slice of lemon and potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter.

In a typical German restaurant that serves schnitzel, there are different variations that are typically offered. One variation is the 'Cordon-Bleu', which is a dish that came from Switzerland. This dish is a schnitzel that is stuffed with ham and cheese. Another variation is the Jägerschnitzel, which is a veal or pork schnitzel topped with a wine-mushroom or a cream-mushroom sauce.
