Lunchtime review of The Duck Inn in Pett Bottom, just outside of Canterbury. Succulent rabbit, wild mushroom pasta and potted duck confit.

Menus: The Duck Inn's signature dish is a simple yet elegantly-prepared whole rotisserie duck. The legs and thighs are slow-roasted for three hours and the breasts are pan-roasted medium-rare to order. The carved duck is served over greens tossed with duck fat dripping potatoes and seasonal fruits. The final component is a duck jus reduction served at the table. The Duck Inn Dog is our tribute to the classic Chicago Hot Dog. Made with all-natural beef and duck fat in a hog casing and grilled to a perfect snap, our dog is topped with all the classic ingredients of a Chicago dog. Homemade mustard & relish are combined with our own pickled hot peppers and pickle, tomatoes, onions and celery salt and all nestled in a, one of a kind, brioche poppy seed bun.

In Wisconsin, supper clubs aren’t just restaurants, they’re also a lifestyle — a mélange of slow food served in generous portions, dimly-lit nostalgic ambience, and good times spent with family

Escape for a night and enjoy bracing country walks followed by a cosy meal by the fire with our pick of the best British pub B&Bs, by Annabelle Thorpe

A legendary dish made easy, this Peking duck recipe doesn’t require any special equipment or advanced skill. But it still tastes so satisfying!

Possibly the best non-beef hot dog you will ever have! This lighter and more nutritious (but no less delicious) version The Duck Inn's famous Duck Fat Hot Dog, made with chicken. It's served with their signature Super Condiment, a blend of everything that makes a Chicago hot dog great: relish, tomatoes, pickled peppers, mustard, onions, celery salt, and pickles. It's all made from scratch, and nestled in a brioche poppy seed bun. The Duck Inn is a cozy, retro-inspired neighborhood gastro-tavern located on the border of Chicago's booming Bridgeport and Pilsen neighborhoods, founded in 2014. At The Duck Inn, Chef Kevin Hickey and his team are serving up some seriously unique comfort foods, and it's earned them legions of fans and accolades over the years: Hickey was named Chef of the Year by the Chicago Tribune in 2015 and the restaurant was named one of the country's best new restaurants by Esquire!

SUPPER clubs are an upper Midwest tradition and are found in states such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan and Iowa. Typically located on the edge of town in rural areas, many serve only dinner, and have been run by families for generations. This charming vintage menu cover is dated 1968 and comes from The Duck Inn in Richmond, Wisconsin, one of the state’s best supper clubs. Naturally, there is a family of delightful ducks – nattily dressed Mom and Dad and their little ducklings - on the front cover. We are particularly fond of the littlest duck who is still in his diaper and carrying his bottle of milk. These cartoon ducks are typical of the wit and imagination of vintage menu artists. The Duck Inn was established in the 1920s, about 40 or so years before this menu cover was created, and became a speakeasy during Prohibition when patrons would ‘duck in’ for drinks. After Prohibition ended in 1933, Wisconsin liquor licenses were issued with the proviso that establishments must serve food. Thus, supper clubs which specialized in dinners – no breakfasts or lunches – were born. Thankfully, these establishments still flourish today and are known for hearty all-American food served in convivial surroundings. The old-fashioned cocktail is the drink of choice at the bar at many supper clubs. The Duck Inn was bought by Jeff and Nora Karbash in 1994 and the couple and their family continue the tradition of casual fine dining and warm hospitality at this historic old supper club. Many thanks to the current owner Jeff for allowing us to show this menu.  Courtesy Private Collection.

Confession: My name is Tracy and I'm a breadaholic, a serial bread baker, and yeah, I like it. I've been trying to nail rustic Italian style bread with a thick, crunchy, crust that stays crunchy until you wrap it. You'd think that would be easy. It's not. I make bread. I make a lot of bread. I make it every day. I tried other people's recipes, some worked, some didn't. None were what I wanted, none had the flavor, texture AND the crust all at the same time. Until now; look what I mastered!! I've done it. I'm going to share it with you. in return, you have to send me pictures of your bread, your videos of the moment of discovery, the slicing the crust. I want to see what you do with what I'm about to give you ;) I'm absolutely delighted that I made this work. I made it work repeatedly and I made it work in other people's kitchens. It will work for you. Make this. Seriously. I'm not breaking this into two recipe forms (quick and long winded) like the other posts. It's long winded, heavily picture supported the whole way. Bread isn't a recipe, the method, the look, the feel, is always part of it, probably the most important part. Here is how *I* do what I do. I'm a master ciabatta maker. I'm a bit of a one trick pony where it's concerned and am asked to take it everywhere I go. I happily oblige. It's nice to be famous for something. I was making it one day and wondered what would happen if I kept the recipe pretty close but merely changed the METHOD... would THAT give me what I wanted in a hard, crunchy crust loaf? I also went old school and figured they've been making this stuff in the old country since year dot without electric appliances so I gave it a go and did it all by hand, THIS is what happened. Tracy's (version) Crusty Rustic Italian Bread 580 grams a/p flour (4 cups but I wanted to weigh it to be sure and to help with consistency) 2 tsp yeast 2 tsp salt (I use kosher sea salt) 3 tsp sugar 2 cups warm water Combine the dry ingredients in a proofing bucket. Ok if you don't have a proofing bucket, use any old bowl you have, just be sure it's really big, you want it to have room to rise. Mix the dry stuff around with a really old wooden spoon :) then add the water all at once. Mix it around, it's a thick, unruly, gloppy (technical term) mass. Be sure you get all the dry stuff from the corners, if you're using a square vessel. I just HAVE to stick my hands in it, I mixed it a little bit (this is COMPLETELY unnecessary but it makes me feel involved and useful). Pop the lid on it, take it's picture and leave it to rise until it's tripled (the same as the ciabatta) It takes about 60+ minutes at my house but remember, I make bread EVERY day so I have the "bakery air" thing going on, things rise very VERY fast for me. I had a tester do this for me and it took closer to 2 hours to triple. It's fine, just leave it on the counter or on top of the fridge, or in the oven with the light on (I am horrifyingly short of counter space so I put it in the oven to do what it needs to do. Timer set for 60 minutes. I'll take us to check then. OK, after an hour, this is what it looks like, I'd call that tripled: I have a french linen bread cloth, tres fancy! You do NOT need a linen bread cloth from anywhere. I made this bread on a board just fine, on a tea towel with some flour on it just fine. I treated myself recently to the cloth as part of my birthday present gift card money. Although super cool and handy, I wouldn't buy myself one from the grocery money, ya know? Flour your fingertips and tip the dough (goo) onto the board/cloth/table. Sprinkle a little flour on it and flip it a time or two to make a ball, we aren't kneading here, just flipping it over, try to keep whatever air there is in the dough. Be gentle. I cut the dough in half to get two smaller loaves. Press the half flat to an oval about 16 inches long with your fingertips Fold the top third down and the bottom third just up over the seam and pinch I let them rise a bit seam side up on the cloth, covered, while the oven preheats to 475. About 15 minutes. I cook the loaves together, on a stone. I tend to break oven stones, frequently, so I am often without one. If you don't have one, put a cookie sheet in the oven upside down and bake them on that. You can transfer the loaves on parchment paper and cook them a bit before you remove it, slide the dough onto the stone with a peel or another cookie sheet. Bake for 45 minutes! REALLY! IF you are having a nervous breakdown about leaving them in the oven so long, so hot, you can go in and futz with them, turn them, spin them or flip them upside down (i do that about 30 minutes in) to help keep the air bubble/hole structure more even. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference, but I do like to feel involved. Flip, gently, onto the peel. I guess the proper term is 'roll' the dough onto the peel (or parchment). Use your favorite serrated knife and slice a pattern. I went slash on one loaf and x's on the other Slip them into the screaming hot oven and set the timer for 30 (we're going to check them at 30) At 30 minutes, this is how they look! I flip them over and cook for another 15 minutes Oooooooooooh, look!! I flipped again for 5 more. Onto a cooling rack... and we wait... Cool about 30 minutes before you slice into this. LISTEN to that crust! I made a youtube video of the slicing into it on my tracycooksinaustin channel; here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBkCdofMD6I&list=HL1363028746&feature=mh_lolz Here are some random beauty shots. It's absolutely delicious. Hard crusty outside and soft, slightly pully (yeah, that's a culinary term) inside with a fabulous flavor and texture. mmmmm Not bad for a little flour, water, yeast, sugar and salt and a bit of waiting time. I like to dunk this in ANYthing, it's great for sopping up soups and stews or sliced thin and toasted with garlic rubbed on it... killer! Go make this... seriously... It will stay hard/crusty until you wrap it. I wrap my bread in foil and keep it on the counter. It reheats BEAUTIFULLY and comes back very hard and crusty. I never keep bread longer than 2 days. If I have some left, I make bread crumbs with it and keep it in Ziploc bags in the freezer or make croutons with it, and then freeze or just toss it to my chickens who absolutely love the stuff. Ok, your turn, go make this bread and let me know how it turns out for you!! YAY for Kitchen Alchemy!! /enjoy

As someone who has lived in Newcastle for about two and a half years, and been vegan all that time, it’s fair to say that I know a fair amount about the vegan food landscape of the city. Newcastle has so much to offer in terms of vegan food, and although it’s not somewhere I’ve heard people talk about elsewhere in the country as a great place for vegans, it is truly an unexpected vegan paradise. In this post, I’m going to bring you through some of the best places to get delicious vegan food in different areas of the city. So no matter if you’re a long-time resident, student, or just visiting for the weekend (once restrictions permit!), there’ll be something here you’ll love! This isn’t an exhaustive list however. There are always new places popping up and I can’t claim to have tried all the vegan food in the city. Some of these places are still doing takeaway or delivery, so do please support them if you can to make sure the vegan scene in Newcastle stays as amazing as it is! City Centre Supernatural Café Right next to the train station, Supernatural is a long time They have some incredible cakes, some of which I genuinely think are the size of my head. As well as delicious sweet things, they also have larger meals and lunches. Inside, it’s decorated with fairy lights and sofas alongside the tables. A very cosy setting on a cold Winter’s day! NCL Teahouse (formerly, and forever in my heart as, Quilliam’s) (Now closed) Quilliam’s is potentially one of my favourite places in Newcastle. It’s cosy, unique and I always feel more relaxed when I walk in there. It’s a great place for working (I’ve had many a study group there), blogging, reading books for my course or just for fun, and for meeting up with friends for a chat and a cuppa! As they’re open until midnight every day except Sunday, they’re a great place to go if you’re a student and need some place to go and work that isn’t the library (when lockdowns aren’t in place that is). Quilliam Bros. specialise in tea, but if you don’t like tea then there are one or two coffee and hot chocolate options. Their menu does also include several vegan options, and many options which can be veganised, these include larger meals but also some cakes, scones and soups. Nudo Sushi (Grainger Street and Northumberland Street) I love sushi. I did before I was vegan, and it’s something I am still able to enjoy. Nudo was one of the first places I tried when I moved here, and their food is certainly tasty. All allergens are really clearly labelled, and they have several different vegan options, from spicy tofu noodles to sushi boxes and hot rice bowls. One thing I’d say about Nudo is that it’s difficult to avoid plastic and non-recyclable waste there. Karma Kitchen Tucked away amongst the clubs in Bigg Market, you could so easily miss Karma Kitchen. The main restaurant is up a flight of stairs through a door you could easily miss if you didn’t know where you were going (I can’t remember if there’s a lift so I’m unsure on how accessible it is if you want to eat in) but it’s such a hidden gem! Run by two sisters, Karma Kitchen’s menu is entirely vegan and is ridiculously delicious. If you miss going out for an Indian since becoming vegan, this place will calm all your worries. Some of my favourites options include their Tofu Makhani and Tofu Tikka Massala. I happen to love tofu, but there are loads of non-tofu options if that’s not your thing, don’t worry! When my family (three omnivores) came up to visit me last year, I took them to Karma Kitchen for a meal out. We all had completely different mains while sharing a few different starters, and absolutely loved it. One thing we all noticed was how good the dips were that came with the poppadoms. While they were still the same main four you tend to get at most Indian restaurants in the UK, we agreed that these were some of the best we’d had. We left feeling full, satisfied and with a bag of leftovers for me to finish at home. They also do deliveries both locally around Newcastle, and also all over the UK through the post! Shijo Ah Shijo… How I love you but how you damage my bank account, and how I have missed you since lockdown began. Their main shop is in Haymarket Metro Station, and the smell when you walk passed it never fails to make me hungry. In 2019, they opened a shop in the basement of Newcastle Uni Students’ Union and it has become even more of a temptation for a ‘treat yourself!’ kind of lunch. My go-to Shijo order is Tofu Teriyaki, which isn’t surprising considering how much of a sweet tooth I have. They also do Pumpkin Katsu Curry, Vegetable Gyozas, Vegetable Spring Rolls, and sometimes do Pumpkin Teriyaki if they’ve run out of tofu! Hi You Hi You is an Asian supermarket on Newgate street, and it is a treasure trove. I usually got there to get some ‘Beef Jerkey’ flavoured dried beancurd or some packs of mo chi, which are some of my favourite snacks/treats, but I will also sometimes get some packs of tofu or other bits and pieces too. Zapatista Zapatista are a burrito bar, and have shops on Grainger Street and Ridley Street., as well as a new one in Durham as well. I haven’t had their food much but my flatmate (who is veggie) absolutely loves them! They may be a burrito bar but they also sell tacos, chillis and fajitas. You can pack them full with loads of veggies, just make sure to have none of the dairy fillings if you want your burrito to be vegan. Vegano Vegano has a wide range of food from breakfasts to doughnuts to lunches and evening meals, they have everything! Including some incredible looking milkshakes, I have been dying to try but have been prevented from doing so by Covid. They have been open for around two years and I remember being so excited when they opened and went several times in the summer term of my first year at uni. Vegano is also pretty close to several city centre student accomodations, so if you’re a student and fancy a snazzy vegan doughnut as a post-essay celebration, this is the place to go! Quayside Market Run every Sunday, the Quayside Market has so many vegan options available. Sellers often include some businesses with shops elsewhere in the city, including Vegano, and Redhead Mac and Cheese, but there are also lots of mobile businesses who sell their food there. These include Sun of Seitan, who do delicious BBQ ‘meats’ made out of (you guessed it!) seitan, and Curry Rolls. There are loads more sellers and lots of different options. You can find food from around the world at the Quayside market and there’s something for everyone, including too many vegan options to choose from. It’s the perfect place to go with omni friends or family. Curry bowl I bought from Curry Rolls at the beginning of September Newcastle Uni This post may be particularly useful for Newcastle students who are wondering about the vegan options available to them when they come to Newcastle. I don’t know what’s available in Northumbria, but I can tell you the vegan options on Newcastle Uni campus! Food vans Occasionally there are food vans (owned by the uni) which set up around campus, and which always have at least one or two vegan options. I had a lush green Thai curry from one before. Luther’s As a student, Luther’s bar is one of the places you’ll first see around campus. Many society bar crawls start there, and it’s a great place to stop off in between lectures (when they’re actually in person). They also sell a variety of food, including some vegan options. In my first week, I had some spicy noodles with tofu which I remember liking, and there are a couple of other options too (although I don’t go there such anymore as I’m on campus less) Humpit (Now closed) It’s a bit of a vegan stereotype to be obsessed with hummus, but let’s be real the occasional stereotype can be accurate. Located on the top floor of the Students’ Union, Humpit do huge pittas stuffed with hummus and salad, as well as hummus bowls, salads and shakshuka. They also have some sides and hot and cold drinks. A must-have for any hummus lover! Co-op Co-op have really upped their game in terms of their vegan options in the past year, and while it’s appreciated, it’s not necessarily great for my bank! In 2019, the NUSU shop transformed into a fully-fledged Co-op with so many more products, including their new vegan range, Gro. This range has lots of tasty options, including a hoisin ‘duck’ protein pot, hoisin duck wrap, hot pasties, steak bakes and sauasage rolls, ready meals, frozen items and indulgent chocolate cupcakes as well as the usual falafel and hummus combo. My favourites are the protein pot and cupcakes, but I need to try out more of their meat substitutes. The Stack (Venue now closed) There used to be more vegan options available in The Stack. From the Hungry Vegan, who had the most amazing vegan subs, to Soul Shack and Junk It Up who had been a staple within the Newcastle vegan landscape before the pandemic and are sorely missed. Hopefully, new vegan businesses can open there and bring new vegan foods to us! Sushi Me Rollin’ Yep, even more vegan sushi options! I tried their food ages ago and I remember it being super tasty if a bit pricey. Grainger Market Grainger Market is a gold mine of local businesses and food outlets. Some of its more well know food options may include huge and cheap pizza slices, but there are vegan options too! While these are some options I love, there are always new places popping up in Grainger Market and options in pre-existing shops may change to be more vegan-friendly. Bulk Stores There are a couple of places in Grainger Market where you can buy food in bulk, using your own containers. The main and oldest is Fruit and Nut. They have loads of barrels of all sorts of items, from chocolate powder, oats and flour to lentils, rice, dates, granola, and more! They have so many options and for generally reasonable prices, it’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already! Although make sure you have cash as they don’t accept card. More recently, another bulk with a bigger emphasis on ‘zero waste’ opened called Nil Living. They are a lot shinier than Fruit and Nut, and do sell lots of the same things (e.g. legumes, flour, etc.), but they are more expensive. Because of their emphasis on ‘zero waste’, they also sell liquid refills (body wash, household cleaner, etc.), and a wider range of plastic free and vegan general items, including candles, soap bars, foil, combs, vegan condoms, a variety of sustainable menstrual products and biodegradable nappy sacks. I recommend using Fruit and Nut for as many of your food needs as the have available, and then going to Nil Living for any other items (or if you want to have a look and see some sustainable menstrual products in person!). Snackwallah Indian street food right next to one of the doors going into the market, and it’s entirely vegan! It’s super cheap and super tasty. If you’re looking for a break from shopping or a day about town, Snackwallah is the perfect pit stop. Veg Shops I try to do as much of my veg as shopping in Grainger Market as possible. There are so many veg shops to choose from, and it’s a great way to support local businesses and buy more local and seasonal produce (although keep any eye out for labels of the product’s origin and know what you’re looking for while not breaking the bank. It’s also an easy way of buying food without plastic packaging, just make sure you bring along your own reusable bags and you’ll be good to go. Redhead Mac and Cheese Ah mac and cheese… a meal so reliant on animal products it can be difficult to recreate as a vegan. But there are ways! I have found and tried several recipes online, but if you’re don’t in the mood to make one yourself, Redhead Mac and Cheese have a vegan option! Obviously most of their menu is different dairy versions, but they didn’t forget the vegans. Their mac and cheese is super creamy and rich, and you have the option for extra siracha ontop. Redhead also do deliveries of pre-made mac and cheese for you to heat up at home. Pumphrey’s Pumphrey’s has been in Newcastle for decades, I think actually centuries?! They are most famous for their coffee, which you can buy as grounds or sit in and drink at their Grainger Market shop. They have oat and soy milk, so they have vegans covered! They also have a shop in a different part of the market selling loose leaf tea. A lovely spot for a pitstop or catch up with pals. Acropolis I only went to Acropolis for the first time this autumn, and I am now obsessed with their vegan souvlaki. It’s so good. They pack them completely full with vegetables, it’s so good. They have various other veggie and meat options too. It’s the actual best. They also have several other locations around the North East! Sandyford and Shieldfield Kimchi Planet (now based in Newcastle University Students' Union) I am obsessed with Kimchi Planet. I’d been meaning to go there for a while, but I finally made my first purchase there in the first week of the March lockdown (we love a bit of comfort food), and they have had my heart ever since. As the name might suggest, Kimchi Planet is the place to go if you want to get some incredible Korean food. Their menu includes rice bowls, kimbaps, kimchi fried rice, drinks and other sides. They have several vegan options, all of which are super yummy. My go-to order is Vegan Beef Bulgogi with a side of kimchi. You genuinely couldn’t get better than that. Both of my parents have tried some of their meat options when they’ve been visiting or helping me move in/out of houses, and have loved those just as much as I have the vegan options, so this is definitely a place to bring your meat-eating friends and family. Little Green (Now closed) Out of all the vegan cafés and restaurants in Newcastle, Little Green is the one you will probably be most likely to hear about. I went there for my 20th birthday with some friends, and we had a really nice time. I tried their tapas, which was delicious! They had so many tapas options, including ‘Miso Tofu’, ‘Meatballs in Tomato Sauce’. The others mostly had different pizzas. Little Green have a wide range of food, changing night to night. For example, Thursday is Curry Night. They also have brunches, salads, dough balls, cakes, and a whole lot more! The Carriage Ever dreamed of going to a completely vegan pub? Well one actually exists – two, really, but I’ll talk about the other one later. The Carriage is a bit out of the way, and like Karma Kitchen, would be easy to miss if you weren’t looking for it. I first went there over a year ago with a friend, and tried their ‘Fish’ and Chips, made out of banana blossom. I won’t lie, the texture was so similar to actual fish that it kind of freaked me out a bit, but I managed to get passed that and it was super tasty. Heaton Shoetree Café (Now closed) If you’re looking for incredible vegan fluffy pancakes, Shoetree is the place to go. They are completely vegetarian, with most options either being vegan or able to be veganised. Theya re quite small, and every time I’ve been they’ve been very busy and I’ve only just been able to get a table. Apart from pancakes, they sell toasted sandwiches, cakes, a wide variety of coffees, and more. They also have a small number of toys nearer the back for children! Since reopening after lockdown, they’re now takeaway only. Sky Apple Café I’ve still not actually been to Sky Apple yet! I’ve walked past it several times and it’s on my list of places to go. They’re a veggie and vegan café on Heaton Road and are currently still open for takeaways on Friday nights! They sell burgers, breakfast burritos, curries, BLTs and pasties, and become a chippy on Friday nights, including vegan fish and battered sausages! I’m hopefully going to give their food a try soon. General Store 109 If you don’t fancy going all the way into town for bulk food, General Store on Heaton Park Road have loads of products. From spices, coffee, and other dried foods to refills of oil, showergel, shampoo, and more, they have so much. They also sell freshly baked bread and pastries if you fancy a treat! Butterfly Cabinet The sister café of Quilliams, Butterfly Cabinet is right next to Sky Apple and has several vegan options, including a huge vegan Full English Breakfast! They also do some incredible fried potatoes and caramelized onions. Delish! Heaton Perk Heaton Perk is just lovely. It’s right next door to General Store and is such a cute café. They have some lunch options, but mostly have hot drinks. They also do really tasty vegan milkshakes! It’s a great place to work, study, write or eve just have a bit of a people watch, especially if you have a window seat. Jesmond Fat Hippo Fat Hippo is an all-round favourite of Who doesn’t love a burger and some snazzy chips? Fat Hippo have got loads of different types of both, including vegan dirty fries which are increeedible. This is another one that’s great if you’re eating with omnis too. They also have an underground restaurant in the city centre too. Café Bar One This is another one I’ve not tried the food yet, but their menu looks lush and they sell good hot drinks, including some lush vegan winter specials! Definitely somewhere to try once lockdown is lifted! Ouseburn The Ship Inn This sister pub of The Carriage, The Ship has a similar menu, and is just as incredible. However, the location of The Ship is definitely nicer than The Carriage. Instead of being surrounded by roads, The Ship is right next to Ouseburn Farm and is surrounded by trees and away from main roads. They have a huge amount of outside space, which is absolutely perfect for social distancing, and generally makes for a lovely space to eat when it’s a nice day. Their food is also brilliant. I genuinely think they might have the best chips I’ve ever eaten?! They have typical pub food, but veganised and it is LUSH, with portions that will keep you full until the next day. The Tyne Bar Another staple pub with lovely views right by the River Tyne and Ouseburn Canal, and with plenty of outdoor space, The Tyne Bar is a gorgeous place to grab a drink or some grub. You can get a vegan hot dog, pulled jackfruit bowls and burritos, as well as falafel wraps and burgers. From when the pubs were still open! Ethical Clothing I also want to highlight some great ethical or secondhand clothing businesses in the Newcastle area that I think are worth your support! Mojo Lingerie If you’re looking for some ethical and sustainable lingerie, have a look at Mojo Lingerie. Run by one woman in her garage, she makes everything herself (as well as running the social media and posting everything to customers). She also makes reversible pieces, so you can wear polka dots one day and stripes the next! Melanie Kyles Melanie is a fashion designer who focuses on ethical and sustainable design and production. She has a few items available on her website, but also makes items to order and sells embroidery kits and tuition.

Schnitzel is a broad term that basically means some kind of meat has been pounded thin with a mallet and then breaded with flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs, and finally fried in butter. It’s usually served with some kind of potato and a wedge of lemon. What I didn’t know is that just about every country and culture has a version of schnitzel.
