There is a need for discussion: a schnitzel from Lower Saxony is being hotly discussed online.
The price is by no means the only reason for this.
Nienstädt – The Schnitzel.
An emotional topic in German-speaking countries, especially in a Reddit group called “Schnitzel Crime”.
Not only particularly unsightly specimens of their genre are shown and debated there.
But also so-called “reference schnitzels” where (almost) everything is correct.
Schnitzel, which is rated particularly positively, comes from Lower Saxony
Does this include one that was reportedly eaten in a restaurant in Nienstädt (Schaumburg district / Lower Saxony)?
The posting is from the beginning of January and is one of the few positive ones in the group, which has since received well over 1,000 positive reactions.
Most people like this good piece.
But there is a need for discussion.
Quite a lot actually.
This is reflected in more than 100 comments.
Lower Saxony: Restaurant charges more than 40 euros for schnitzel
Some just rave: “It looks very good!” or “I think so too,” for example.
One person wants to know from the restaurant guest: “Did it taste as good as it looked?” The prompt answer: “At least as good.” But of course the question of price also arises.
It's a Viennese schnitzel made from veal, which suggests that it wasn't exactly cheap.
According to the eater, he shelled out 41 euros for it.
The “Original 'Wiener Schnitzel' from Peters Farm Veal” with fried potatoes, cucumber salad and wild cranberries even appears on the restaurant's menu at 42.50 euros; there has presumably been a price increase in the meantime.
That is a lot.
This is also the opinion of the thread opener, who, however, had a voucher, as he emphasizes.
“But it would be better to have one schnitzel like this than two poorly made ones for 20 euros” and “It was an experience, so it was worth the money for me,” he says enthusiastically.
He gets approval: “I’m totally on board with it, but I would have paid full price, it looks really tasty” and “Heavy, but I would have paid it too,” they say.
Schnitzel from Lower Saxony for more than 40 euros - fans complain about the side dishes and wooden board
But when it comes to visual assessment, not everyone agrees that the dish is worth more than 40 euros.
The portion size of the side dishes is a thorn in the side for some.
"Looks delicious.
But a lot of schnitzel, little side dish.
For me the relationship is not right,” writes one.
“Side dishes are a bit tight, but otherwise quite good,” another said.
The question “Is this doll’s crockery or from Miniaturwunderland?” probably aims at something similar.
Another puts it more drastically: “41 euros and then the mini bowl of side dishes?
Would have gotten up and left without eating or paying.”

Emotions are also heating up over another topic: Why is the schnitzel served on a wooden board in Lower Saxony?
“I also find it distasteful that the thing is served like a Brettljausn (snack served on a board, editor’s note),” says one.
“Reference schnitzel on a wooden board?
Never” another.
A user made a similar statement: “I'm not a fan of boards like that either.
But the advantage in the schnitzel sector seems to me to be that it makes it impossible to drown the schnitzel in some weird sauce.”
A user who, according to her own, unverifiable information, has “specialized training in the profession” goes very far: “Germans simply don’t know the art of baking schnitzel and often certainly don’t know the art of serving.
Anyone who has received basic training in cooking and serving will find the hair under their chef's hat standing up at the suggestion that a Brettljausenschnitzel is a reference schnitzel.
And someone who falls for looks can't be helped anyway.
If the caterer offering the salad had correctly served the salad on the top left side of the plate (instead of the wrong top right in the picture) and used an adequate plate, it would look different.
You should also know how to serve correctly.” That doesn’t go over so well and she receives tons of negative reviews for it.
Perhaps the search for the reference schnitzel must continue and has not ended in Lower Saxony.
But that at a “completely insane price” probably comes close.
