If you should ever visit the Wiesbaden area, make sure to have one at "Der Waldgeist" - they offer the largest schnitzels I have ever seen.

Welcome to all our fellow Lions fans from across the pond! BillySims wrote: A few of us Yanks served in the Army in Germany. I was stationed in Graphenwhor in the Mid 80's. Ish haben ein Tucker dunkels bier unt a schnitzel bitte Why can't we get a schnitzel in America? Billy if you are ever in the Saginaw Valley area (Bay City, Saginaw, etc.) I know of two places that have schnitzel. In Frankenmuth the Bavarian Inn have Weiner Schinitzel (veal) and Jaeger Schnitsel (pork). I am not a big fan of the restaurant personally but the schnitzel, sauerbraten and brats are pretty good. My other suggestion is a small restaurant in Bay City, on the East side of the Saginaw River, called the Atrium. I believe it is On Water St. about 2 blocks west of Washington Ave. (main N-S strip on East side of river) between Vetrans and Liberty Bridges. It is attached to a bar called the Stein House which has a nice beer selection. The atmosphere and service are not great but the schnitzel and red gabbage or sauerkraut is pretty good. I think you can order off the Atrium menu in the Stein House which has, IMO, a better atmoshpere.

You can get all sorts of schnitzel at Jacoby's.

 Re: Greetings from the United Kindom & Ireland fan Club
Thanks all,
But, I am in the middle of the state. Kind of far to go to get a schnitzle. But, if I am ever in the area.

 Re: Greetings from the United Kindom & Ireland fan Club
I'm also from Europe, though I'm not sure how many of you guys here are familiar with Serbia. It's been through quite a few changes in recent history.

Mind you, it's been just about 3 decades since I was over there. So, I am rusty on my German. Bundesliga = Bundes is a common base word for, ( well basically ), German National. I think, but, I can't remember which: the German Army or the German Police are called the Bundesphere. Liga = League Bayern = I think that is a term for Bavaria Munchen= Munich Munich is located in Bavaria I am not sure what FC stands for. St Pauli is the name of the team I think. Furth is another town in Germany.

FC = Football Club. Just need to remember that Europeans call soccer football.  And yes, St. Pauli is the name of the team.

It's also a poor layout on the plate. It looks like something that someone with worms has already eaten and thrown back up. LOL  I don't know what that sauce is. I always got a sandwich when I ordered a schnitzel.
