It seems that everywhere in the world where there’s bread, there’s some kind of schnitzel. Even some countries that don’t really have bread, like Japan, have schnitzel. When my Jewish friend Eden goes to visit his Hungarian grandma, she invariably grabs his cheeks and says, ‘You look skinny, you want schnitzel?’ This Polish version, made with pork loin, may not feature high on the Jewish grandmother menu, but the comfort it brings to homesick Polish boys is just the same. It should be served with mash.
