Weiner or Hamburger Schnitzel (1868)

[Wilson Gray]

FWIW, I've had Schnitzel Holsteiner Art both in Germany and in the
States. "Breaded; topped with a fried egg" is a good brief description
of it. It's very good, though quite filling. (It comes with a candle
or other source of heat, so that it doesn't get cold as you're eating
your way through it). I've also had Schnitzel å la Holstein, in the
States. But "Holsteiner Schnitzel"? Uh-uh. Which is surely only
coincidental, of course. I've never had or heard of Hamburger
Schnitzel, either. But that's probably also mere coincidence. And it's
"Wiener" and not "Weiner."
