Usage notes

• 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 the German-speaking countries, it is by no means defining for the word Schnitzel.
• Given the general meaning of the word, the idea that “Schnitzel” is a dish typical of the German/Austrian cuisine is unknown to these countries (or has, at most, recently been introduced from the Anglophone world).
