¡Qué ricas son las milanesas!

Question

We eat a lot of "milanesas" in our country. They are everywhere. It's meat covered by a little flour, then egg and finally what we call "pan rallado" which is like breadcrumbs (almost like thick flour) and then mostly fried or sometimes made in the oven if you want something healthier. We usually use lemon on them ....... mmmm........Delicious!

How could you call these "milanesas" in English?

Answer 2

I think that's called a schnitzel in England, Polenta. I'm not sure that everyone would know this word though, it's not common. If it was on a menu there would probably be a description next to the word. Maybe pork/chicken in breadcrumbs or one of NKM1974's suggestions.

I went on holiday to Australia last year and they seemed to be everywhere! Schnitzel, chips (fries) and a schooner (450ml beer). Mmm!

Thanks patch. I'll try to remember . - polenta1, Jul 11, 2017

Answer 3

Sobre el tema de la culinaria, a ver si alguien sabe el significado de lo siguiente, lo cual creo que empezó Mario Moreno Cantinflas desde hace décadas: ¡Que milanesas que nos bisteces!

Is it slang for something like "It's been a million years since you've come to see us!" - alba3, Jul 15, 2017

Close. It means "¡Qué milagro que nos veamos!" - 005faa61, Jul 15, 2017

Answer 4

I first had Wiener schnitzel when I was on a group camping holiday around Europe and we had reached Salzburg. It was delicious and served with various salads. I have made it occasionally with rose veal but have also used pork or chicken. I always add beaten egg and some herbs and beat the escalope until it is thin. It is best if you double dip but it can be messy.

I assume in Uruguay and Argentina it is originally from Scallopini alla Milanese. Here is a recipe from Felicity Cloke who regularly tests a traditional recipe.

The Guardian

Delia Smith a popular cook, refers to it as Veal Milanese.

Veal Milanese

Although I ask for escalope in my butchers It may be a cut rarely used in the USA. If I am using chicken I buy a boneless breast.

I am typing this before breakfast, but it makes me want meat!

Food makes us hungry, right? ............mmmm - polenta1, Jul 11, 2017

Answer 5

Sí, "schnitzel" es un término bastante conocido donde vivo.

Si lo preparas de pollo y añades salsa de tomate y mozzarella (musarela), puedes llamarla "chicken parmesan (parmigiana)"

Es posible comerla como un sándwich:
