**** Usage notes
- German _Schnitzel_ is not the same as [en] , which is generally taken to be a breaded cutlet. Although this form of preparation is rather common in German-speaking countries, it is by no means definitive of _Schnitzel_ .
- Given the general meaning of the word, the idea that “Schnitzel” is a dish typical of German/Austrian cuisine is unknown to these countries (or has, at most, recently been introduced from the Anglophone world).
- In Switzerland the term Pläzli is used for cutlet and the breaded cutlet meaning is most often associated with English _schnitzel_ .
