Schnitzel, spaetzle, & gravy

It's October so I thought I'd whip up some schnitzel - I always think of it as German style chicken fry. Pounded and breaded some pork, then pan fried it. Then I made gravy with onions and mushrooms, beef broth, and heavy cream - thickened with pan juices and flour of course. Served up some spaetzle and red cabbage on the side. Washed it down with some cold Shiner beer.

    Nice cook, one of our favourites. SWMBO prefers au gratins to the spaetzle, I go either way. Lately we've gone with panko crumbs, the grand kids like the crunch a bit better. Ever tied corn flake crumbs, very nice with the cream gravy.

    I haven't tried corn flake crumbs - I'll give them a try. Thanks!

    You are making me weep.
    A great German meat market/grocery/deli/restaurant opened here in Ogden last May, Berlin's, that I fell in love with.  Today, in the local paper, they announced they were closing, and their fantastic schnitzel and goulash are now.... gone.

    You have my sympathy. Just have to take SciAggie's lead and make your own!

    Looks good. My favorite restaurant in Columbia, Julia's German Stammich, got demolished during the flooding. A few weeks back. So sad. Literally the first thing I said when I returned home from evacuation is "I hope Julia's" made it. Well, they have a gofundme page now. I sure hope she reopens. Literally the best schnitzel and spaetzle I have ever had. This includes the famous Figmuller in Vienna--- doesn't touch Julia's. Thanks for the reminder.

    @allsid For this cook I was lazy. My wife found some packaged spaetzle and we wanted to try it (for convenience.) Like most packaged foods it wasn't as good as home made. When we make it ourselves I just extrude the dough through a colander with a spoon over boiling water. Is there a dedicated tool for making spaetzle?

    There is- It looks like a cheese grater with a box on it which slides back and forth. You put the batter in the box and slide it back and forth dripping the noodles into the water.  My grandma Hilda had one and she whipped up a lot of spatzel when we were kids. Brought back lots of memories but the reason I asked is when I try to make them from scratch, I mostly make a mess. Will have to give the box a try sometime...
