National Wienerschnitzel Day

Make your own deceptively simple Wiener Schnitzel out of pork or veal to add a delicious and wholesome new meal to your repertoire that dates back centuries.

Wiener Schnitzel is a delicious treat that is much beloved by Austria and other countries in that region. It is, in fact, one of the premier examples of Viennese cuisine and has served as the backbone of many a native’s childhood diet.

Wiener Schnitzel Day celebrates this meal, its culture and its history.

History of Wiener Schnitzel Day

A breaded cutlet that is deep-fried in oil, Wiener Schnitzel is traditionally made from veal, but also can be made from pork. In Australia, it might even be found made out of chicken or beef.

This dish is actually named after the city where it was invented, as “Wien” is the way Vienna is written in German.

Wiener Schnitzel was first mentioned in 1831 in a cookbook where it was called eingebröselte Kalbsschnitzchen, and would find its way to Vienna in 1857. The dish continued to appear throughout the region, and one comment from 1887 said that it was “a gastronomic dream”, though the dish he describes is decidedly a complex affair, including slices of lemon peel, sardines, gherkins, capers, and an unknown array of other spices.

Today’s version of Wiener Schnitzel is also known by other names around the world. In the Midwest of the United States, it’s known as a “pork tenderloin” and is typically served on a bun as a sandwich. In Latin American, the dish is known as “Milanesa”, and in Czech Republic, it is called “Řízek”.

Wiener Schnitzel Day celebrates this dish and its place in that history!

How to Celebrate Wiener Schnitzel Day

Enjoy the celebration of Wiener Schnitzel Day with these types of fun activities:

Learn Some Fun Facts About Wiener Schnitzel

Impress friends, family members and coworkers by sharing interesting facts and tidbits about the guest of honor on Wiener Schnitzel day:

Wiener Schnitzel is tenderized through the use of pounding on it to make it thinner and more comfortable to eat.

An American fast food chain named ‘Wienerschnitzel’ was founded in 1961. Strangely enough, they started by selling hot dogs, but have since expanded into other menu items. They’re located in at least 10 states and also in Guam.

In Finland, Wiener Schnitzel is called “Wieninleike” and is always made of pork. It became particularly popular toward the end of World War II. Here, it is typically served with mashed potatoes or french fries.

Garnishes for this food vary significantly based on the place where it is served. It may range from a simple lemon wedge to butter, from parsley to potato, from anchovy slices to capers and horseradish.

Visit Vienna for Traditional Wiener Schnitzel

A trip to Vienna is just the thing for experiencing the most authentic and tastiest Wiener Schnitzel found all over the globe. Enjoy visiting the palace where the Habsburg royal family would spend their summers, or view museums that house works of art by famous artists such as Gustav Klimt, Albrecht Dürer, or Hieronymus Bosch.

From the US, hopping on a flight to Austria can be fairly quick and easy, as Trans-Atlantic flights go. With several airlines that have direct flights from a few different American cities, a trip to Vienna can be made in around 8-9 hours from the east coast.

For enjoying the best of Vienna’s culinary delights, almost any traditional restaurant will serve a delicious schnitzel that’s probably bigger than your head! Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on that tender breaded meat and enjoy some potato salad on the side.

In between delicious meals, don’t forget to visit Vienna’s best attractions, including the Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Hofburg Palace and Museum. And, of course, after meals, visiting a Viennese cafe for a delightful cup of Viennese coffee is the perfect treat.

[dancingtothesurfacenoise]

Good morning!

I know what you're saying...

"Why should I eat breakfast?"

Your mother probably told you breakfast was the most important meal of the day. And she was right.

Merely surviving the night is no guarantee of living through the rest of the day, is it now?

Eat... eat now because let's face it, you may be run over by the president of the US who is no longer accountable for crimes.

Or you may be eaten by a lion.

Or even some painful combination of the two.

This may be your last chance.

I know what you're thinking..."what should I eat?"

You could just eat toast, of course.

But are you really going to waste your last meal on partially cremated bread?

You may as well have died in your sleep. Surely the fact that your unconscious body kept you alive while your attention was elsewhere means that it deserves sustenance of a higher order. Show some ambition.

According to experts, there are only three choices for breakfast and your decision says more about you than your diary, your police record and the witty daily thought you leave on Facebook combined!

1. A Continental Breakfast

To most of the world the continental breakfast follows the Gallic model of a demitasse of strong coffee and a lightly buttered croissant.

Ok for some I suppose, but a croissant is an admission of guilt for those who have inadvertently consumed several bellyfuls of cheap-ass red wine the previous evening and cannot stomach anything heavier. Your mother was in labor for eight hours and you eat this? You must truly enjoy the misery of your own daily existential dread as you drive sheep through town where you are given a ticket for making an unlawful ewe turn.

2. Cereal

Why would you wish to eat cereal?

Cereal is an abomination, the very thought of which makes the Virgin Mary weep in heaven.

How in good conscience can you connive in the desecration of God's good grains? Why would you choose to take perfectly good maize, which might otherwise be popped in a microwave and simply squeeze the vitamins out between two rollers before drying it and sealing it in a cardboard box? All this because a cartoon tiger poured syrup on it and claimed it would be "GRRRR-eat".

This doesn't make this food, let alone breakfast.

Adding ground-up foundry waste to the mix and claiming it's rich in minerals doesn't make it any better.

But not all cereal is maize-based, you say, some contains rice. Correct.

However, The Gods did not provide this perfectly packaged gift that it should be heated until all nutrition exploded from it.

Rice Krispies and those abominable pixies who advertise it are the creation of Satan and should be shunned by all those who hold their eternal soul dear. Every "Snap!", each "Crackle!" or "Pop!" pulls another straw from the crib of baby Jesus!

How dare you!

And oats???

Leave oats to the donkeys! Say no muesli!!

Abandon shredded wheat so it may once more be the roofing material of choice for rustic Cotswold cottages.

You were created in God's holy image and you must honor him by consuming a breakfast fit for a deity.

There is only one choice.

3. The Full English Breakfast.

That's right.

The only choice is the Full English Breakfast!

Yes, I know not everyone is British.

Never fear, you can still enjoy three thousand calories of divine breakfast! Simply drop the "English" and insert the name of your own paltry nationality.

Sure, outsiders may scoff at a "Full Malawian" but the satisfaction of stumbling around with a stomach full of partly digested animals will overcome any embarrassment.

But just what constitutes a Full {insert your nationality here} Breakfast?

The single most important ingredient for any breakfast purporting to be The Full English is Bacon. The bacon must be streaky so that those wavy strips of pig-muscle are set-off perfectly by the parallel accompaniment of pure lard.

Of course, we don't just want to enjoy the backs and bellies of our porcine buddies. We want to enjoy all that they have to offer. In one meaty little package a sausage can offer up as well!

Ah yes, piggy delights that we would otherwise have to chew through trotters, tails, ears, lips and snouts for.

Who has time to eat all that?

Bacon aside, breakfast provides no finer delights than this cylindrical minced-gristle offering but, as an additional bonus, it comes wrapped in delicious hog-intestines!

Ok, I know what your saying.

You've already enjoyed 90% of the pig, what about that last 10%?

Time for Black Pudding!

Pig blood mixed with yet more lard and blended with oats!

it makes a gory porridge which releases those all-important complex carbohydrates throughout the morning.

All this and it comes wrapped in yet more hog-intestine!

Yipee!

Margarine is a French invention. Enough said.

Beans.

The musical fruit,

beans gives you trouser-trumpeting abilities so make sure to eat plenty before a job interview or anything social.

What could anyone do to make the mighty spud mightier still? Simple, just grate it and deep fry it!

Then there's the grilled tomato.

A grilled tomato will provide the eye-popping moment of surprise when it releases super-heated seeds onto your tongue.

(Just don't tell anyone it's fruit).

Mushrooms...what can one say about mushrooms?

It's a food-stuff related to Athlete's Foot and Ringworm.

Fried for extra clarity of purpose.

Mushrooms may well be slimy, tasteless and unpleasant but they remind us of our own fecundity and spur us on to great oafishness!

Don't forget the eggs....have lots of them.

But what type of eggs should you eat?

It is possible to poach eggs.

But it is also possible to gouge out ones own eyes with a stick.

Poached eggs are simply fried eggs without the benefit of lard.

DO NOT EAT POACHED EGGS – you've come so far already, why spoil it now?

It is permissible to eat scrambled eggs.

But only until you are seven years old.

When you were a child you ate childish things,

but now you are no longer a child.

Eat them runny and fried in loots of lard!

The yolk should slowly spread across your plate,

allowing you to wipe it clean with your fried bread.

There is no alternative.

Have a great morning !!!!!

@dduane called upstairs and told me: "Neil's got one for you!"

Well, maybe not me specifically, but here goes... :->

Black pudding is the Irish / UK name for a sausage made with blood - pig, cow or sheep - rather than chopped or minced meat as the main ingredient, forms of which are found in cuisines all over the world.

Black pudding can be long or short, straight or curved ("stick" or "ring"), and sometimes even a cake or terrine.

The "pudding" part, which USAians associate with a sweet dessert, comes from the French word "boudin" (boudin noir is French blood sausage) and seems to have something to do with "edible material inside a wrapper" - the wrapper may also be edible, like the skin on a sausage or black pudding...

...and the suet crust of a steak-and-kidney pudding...

...or inedible like the cloth or bag used for a boiled pudding. This is how Christmas puddings used to be made, hence Dickens writing that the Cratchit house smelled like a laundry, and why traditional images show them as spherical with a sprig of holly on top.

Black puddings are also boiled before going on sale, so they're actually cooked and ready-to-eat, though I've never heard of anyone hereabouts doing so.

Usually they become an ingredient in a recipe such as this salad (one of DD's Middle Kingdoms dishes)...

... or appear sliced as part of a fry-up.

The black puddings I'm most familiar with (Irish / UK) mostly use pig-blood, oats or barley and various herbs and spices. They're a standard part of a Full Irish Breakfast / Ulster Fry - just the sort of thing to start a day that involves ploughing a 40-acre field behind two Shire horses, though perhaps best eaten infrequently if just sitting at a desk.

This is pretty close to the sort of Ulster Fry I grew up with, including the black pudding...

...though there should also be a slice of white pudding (minced pork, oats or barley, spices) and that ordinary fried bread, nice though it looks, would be a half farl of soda and a couple of farls of potato bread instead.

(For those familiar with a Full English Breakfast and wondering "Why no baked beans?", AFAIK there should never be baked beans with an Ulster Fry since, unlike everything else, they can't be fried - which, as the name suggests, is the whole point...)

Black puddings were used as weapons (!) for "the Yorkshire martial art of Ecky Thump" (!!) in an episode of 1970s comedy show "The Goodies"; this is the notorious episode where a TV viewer died of laughter...

There are regional variants of black and white pudding all over these islands: Stornoway black pudding from Scotland, Pwdin Du from Wales, Bury black pudding in the Midlands (oops!) North-West *, Hog's Pudding in the West Country and so on.

( * Lancashire, where the martial art is By 'Eck. Possibly.)

Perhaps the best known Irish black pudding variant is "drisheen" from Cork and Limerick; its signature herb is tansy, and oatmeal rather than barley gives a softer texture than regular pudding.

Cork and Limerick were major Viking settlements, so I wonder if there's some association between drisheen with tansy and Scandinavian blood sausages with marjoram and other herbs.

That notion was first prompted by Frans Bengtsson's well-researched novel "The Long Ships"; Michael Meyer's excellent translation is the usual English version.

There, black pudding - or at least blood sausage "with thyme in it" - provokes a tearful emotional response from two hard-bitten Vikings who, after several years as slaves then mercenaries in Andalusian (Muslim) Spain, get their first taste of Real Grub at King Harald Bluetooth's Yule feast.

The book version's a bit long, but you can get the picture (hah!) from a couple of frames of the graphic novel.

Wild boar, bread cakes and fried turnips were carried in, but when the blood-sausage came, Orm and Toke got tears in their eyes. "That scent is best of all!" "There's thyme in it..."

"Please, if it's not against Harald's orders, could we have some more? For seven years we've been eating vegetables in the land of the Andalusians. We've missed seven Yules-worth of blood-sausage!"

Back in 1987, I felt the same way about foods from home after only 6 months in Los Angeles - and yes, one of those foods was black pudding...

So I'm the one who asked about the beans in the English breakfast a day ago and I was reading the notes and-- what the actual fuck is black pudding? Never heard of it, not sure I even want to know, but now I feel bad for missing ANOTHER thing in the English breakfast.. also my dad devoured the food before my mom could say "beans are off, love" but we will remember it for next time!

I will let someone in the notes describe and explain Black Pudding. Someone will take joy in it.

its real bold of the germans to call themselves better than the immigrants coming to their nation when they eat raw meat sandwiches and sausage made from blood.

Apple Day 

Apple Day is mainly celebrated in the United Kingdom, where it was started. Common Ground, a group dedicated to building strong communities, strengthening local distinctiveness, and connecting people with nature and each other, held the first Apple Day in 1990, at Covent Garden in London, England. Their goal was to create an autumn holiday that would not only be celebrated in London, but also in other cities, villages, parishes, markets, and even orchards. They wanted to demonstrate the richness and diversity of apples, but also the diversity of landscape, ecology, and culture as a whole.

Many different activities have taken place on the day. First and foremost has been the buying, tasting, and eating of apples. Other activities have included juicing, pruning, grafting, and identifying apples, and games, songs, and poetry about apples. In England, many groups such as museums, shops, restaurants, horticultural societies, Wildlife Trusts, National Trust properties, and schools organize activities for the day. By the second year of Apple Day, there were over 60 events. There were over 300 events in 1997, and 600 by the new millennium. Not all "apple days" are held on October 21. Some groups hold these celebrations on other days of the month.

Through the day's success, it has not only demonstrated the importance of the apple but the importance of local celebrations as well. The day has germinated local pride and grown interest in local distinctiveness. Apple Day has also led to an interest in raising awareness for the origins of food and to encouraging healthy eating.

The apple tree is a deciduous tree from the rose family and is cultivated around the world as a fruit tree. It originated in Central Asia; its ancestor is the malus sieversii, which still grows today. Apple trees grew for thousands of years in Asia, as well as in Europe—the starting place of Apple Day—before being brought to North America by European colonists in the seventeenth century. They are possibly the oldest tree to have been cultivated. The only apples native to North America are crab apples. Reverend William Braxton of Boston planted the first apple orchard on the North American continent in 1625. Apples were cultivated on colonial farms and spread along Native American trade routes. Johnny Appleseed introduced apple trees to the western frontier. Today apple trees are prominent in Eastern Washington, where apples are their leading product, and more apples are grown there than any other state.

If grown by seed in the wild, an apple tree can tower up to 30 feet, but they are generally 6-15 feet in height when cultivated. The height of the cultivars depends on how they were grafted onto rootstocks. There are over 7,500 cultivars of apples, which are grown for various purposes such as eating raw, cooking, and cider making. Apple tree flowers blossom in the spring, and the leaves bud at this time as well. Flowers cluster in groups of four to six and the center flower is called the "king bloom." It opens first and can grow into larger fruit than the other flowers. The fruit is ready to pick by late summer or fall.

How to Observe Apple Day

The best way to celebrate the day may be to attend an Apple Day event, most of which take place in England. You could visit Covent Garden in London, where the first Apple Day was held. One of the other best ways to celebrate the day may be to try as many different varieties of fresh apples as you can find, identifying them, and noting the differences and qualities each has.

Besides eating fresh apples, you could celebrate by eating apples in some of their many other forms as well. Have some cider or apple juice; treat your sweet tooth to apple dumplings, apple pie, apple cake, or a caramel apple; and find a use for apple cider vinegar. There are so many ways you could enjoy apples. Not only could you eat them, but you could plant an apple tree. Plant a cutting, or get a tree from a nursery.

As the heart of the day is about finding ways to connect with others and nature in your own community, the day can even be celebrated without apples. You could spend the day at any sort of community event, or by doing something to improve the place you call home. You could support small local businesses, join the committee for an annual festival, or work with others to clean up parks and waterfronts.
