Schnitzel, Rahm

Where does the word Schnitzel come from?
The word Schnitzel is believed to come from the word der Schnitz which means a slice or a cut, similarly Schneider means a tailor.
The Schnitzel, by definition, is made with veal. However, today many German restaurants will offer a “Schnitzel” using different meats while still following the preparation techniques of the Wiener Schnitzel (dipped in flour, egg, and bread crumbs, and fried in butter or oil to a golden brown). You may see this called “Wiener Art,” meaning it was prepared like a Wiener Schnitzel, but the meat is not veal.

Pork Ribs

Pork Ribs the right way.

Sate

Sate Babi, Satay (also written sate) is a dish consisting of chunks or slices of dice-sized meat (chicken, mutton, lamb, beef, pork, fish etc) on bamboo skewers, which are grilled over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasoning (depends of satay recipe varients). Satay may have originated in Java or Sumatra, Indonesia, but also popular in many other Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Thailand, as well as in the Netherlands which was influenced through its former colonies. Sate Babie or Pork Satay, Is a popular delicacy among Indonesian Chinese community, whom most of them are not Muslims who prohibit eating pork. It can be found at Chinatowns in Indonesian cities, especially around Glodok, Pecenongan, and Senen in Jakarta area.

Lasagna

Lasagna, also lasagne, is both a form of pasta in sheets (often rippled in North America and other countries, though seldom so in Italy) and also a dish, sometimes named Lasagne al forno (meaning “Lasagne in the oven”) made with alternate layers of pasta, cheese, and sometimes ragu (a meat sauce). While it is traditionally believed to have originated in Italy, evidence has come to light suggesting that a very similar meal known as “loseyns” (pronounced ‘lasan’) was eaten in the court of King Richard II of England in the 14th Century. The word “lasagna” is derived from the Greek word “lasanon” meaning chamber pot. The word was later borrowed by the Romans as “lasanum” to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made. The word lasagna or lasagne (plural) now simply applies to the food itself. The British (and Italians) generally use the plural “lasagne” to mean both the dish and the pasta while the Americans commonly use the singular “lasagna”

Frikandel (Dutch)

A frikandel (plural frikandellen) is a Dutch snack, a sort of minced-meat hot dog,developed in 1959.

It is a long, skinless, dark-coloured sausage that is eaten hot. Unlike other sausages, a frikandel is deep-fried. Sometimes it is served on a bun and is then called a broodje frikandel. In Belgium it is mostly called a “curryworst”. Due to the absence of skin, one could argue that it technically isn’t a sausage.

In the Netherlands, Belgium and Curacao, the frikandel mainly consists of a mixture of pork, beef, chicken, and by some manufacturers, horse meat.

It is usually served with curry ketchup sauce and/or mayonnaise, though some people eat it with tomato ketchup. A frikandel with mayonnaise, curry ketchup sauce and chopped onion comprises a frikandel speciaal. The frikandel speciaal usually has a deep cut in the middle to provide room for the chopped onions and the sauces. For best results, the cut is made before frying the frikandel.

In many other countries, including South Africa, Denmark and Germany, frikadel or frikadelle (not to be confused with frikandel) is the local name of minced-meat meatballs or patties like those used in hamburgers.

It took me a while to get this the way I wanted it. From what I have been told it taste just like at home 🙂

I used to roll them which was a major pain, they used to fall apart when I was boiling them. Then I came on this idea, hey why not use somekind of a tube and stuff them. So I went to the local hardware store and bought 2″ diameter pvc tube. Ask them to cut the tube in 7 1/2″. Don’t be surprised when they ask you:”what do you need that for?” Well you can imagine how surprised they were when I replied :”I am making frikandellen ……” I think they only heard part of the word freak lol. Initially I had bought them in 1″ diameter and that didn’t work for me that would give me the size of a hotdog, and you don’t want that because if you are like me you want to slice them in the middle and add the onions, mayo and curry ketchup.
