        Er, you have that back to front. The fact English
speakers know what schnitzel is, and that it's been
breaded, but that  doesn't mean that (in English) any and
every breaded something, is called schnitzel.


 (The English word "schnitzel" refers to what is called

   "/Wiener/ Schnitzel" in German.) A German "Schnitzel" does not

 Etymology
The German word schnitzel (Middle High German: snitzel) is
a diminutive of sniz, 'slice'.

         In the pork or veal schnitzel recipe,a thin cut
of meat is pounded even thinner to tenderise it before
being breaded and fried.
