Schnitzel Truck is Considering Serving Veal!
It looks like the soon to open Schnitzel & Things Truck took notice of this morning’s wienerschnitzel lovefest. via Twitter: “A Schnitzel debate huh?? Actually Wiener Schnitzel DOES not have to be veal. Who wants veal? Let us know!” Followed by: “We’ll open with Veal schnitzel as a special! It’ll be more expensive but if it sells, we’ll keep it on permanently”. I know I don’t speak for everybody when I say this, but “Yes please!” Also, thanks for the wiener schnitzel lesson. I always forget that wiener means “from Vienna” and not veal. Whatever veal schnitzel is called, I want it.

As one who is composed of LOTS of German blood, I can tell you that wienerschnitzel does NOT have to be veal. In fact, in the old country, veal is (well, actually WAS) a very rare and expensive ingredient.
My paternal grandparents (who escaped from the 1930’s Berlin) used everything from chicken to pork.
But, I must say, that when anyone eats “Schnitzel” from a New Yawk City “Truck” on the street, they are FAR more adventurous than I could ever be.
They might be eating someone’s pet cat!
