Veal, Breadcrumbs, Lemon, Simple. And it is. Done right it is one of
the all time great recipes. In the 70's this was all the rage.
Couldn't get enough of it. It was on top restaurant menus all the
way down to roadside diners. In fact the Golden Fleece roadhouse
version was particularly memorable. Literally the size of the plate
with mashed potatoes. For such a simple dish the outcome is
miraculous. It is so tasty.
Obviously milk feed veal is what every one is after and todays butchers sell. But, in the day the older, larger veal might actually have be better in this dish. The Wiener Schnitzel has almost gone extinct via evolving into the Veal Parmigiana, which then evolved into the Chicken Parma. I say "Bring back the Weiner. Aaaah Schnitzel" should be a movement.
Can be served with chips and salad. Very light dish. However I think that a creamy mashed potato is wonderful and if fact goes a long way to making this one of the classics.
