Schnitzel with Gypsy Sauce

Schnitzel Gravies – Cream, Hunter’s, Onion & Gypsy Sauce

German Schnitzel Gravies – do you actually know that Schnitzel in Germany is served very often with sauces on the side? When you think about Schnitzel the first thing what comes into your mind is the standard Schnitzel served with french fries. You need to know that in German restaurants you can surly find more than this! There are not only different sauces but also different side dishes – from friend potatoes to Spätzle. I would say that the sauce is like a cherry on a cake – something you could die for.
