Veal Schnitzel is good.
I am a big fan of fried foods so this day I decided to head up north to grab some schnitzel at the Schnitzel and things Truck. This truck which launched only two months ago has become quite popular. I have sampled a variety of its fried schnitzel platters and they have certainly been satisfying.
The special’s price was $10 for the platter above the other available schnitzel platters. It is pricey for food off of a truck but the platter itself did not disappoint. I requested that the veal be paired with two of the truck’s tastier sides the lentil salad and the potato salad.I decided to get the kalamata olive tapanade sauce to accompany my veal.
In preparing the veal, the cooks pound the meat till its flat, then lightly bread the meat and fry it. You can tell from the overall texture of the meat that much prep work goes into getting the meat just right before frying.The veal schnitzel itself was easy to devour. The veal was quite tender and easy to eat. It did not have the tough chewy texture that you often find with prepared veal. There was no oily texture considering the fried nature of the food. The meat itself was flavorful and combined well the Kalamata olive condiment which tasted like a tapenade. The kalamata olive sauce added a subtle tang to the meat that was not overpowering or underwhelming but a perfect addition to the natural flavors of the veal.
The two condiments I chose are two of my favorites. The potato salad has a light vinegar flavor that combines well with the potato. It is not too vinegary but just right. The lentil salad also has some acidity in it but again not too overpowering.
