Liechtensteiner Schnitzel (Breaded Pork Cutlets)

Liechtensteiner schnitzel is breaded pork or veal cutlets.  Their neighbor Austria gets the credit for schnitzel and it is no wonder why schnitzel is loved in Liechtenstein and throughout the world.  It is easy to make and simply delicious.  What makes the dish out of this world, is the little squeeze of lemon.  A wonderful main course that we enjoyed immensely with Kasknofle and applesauce.  Enjoy! Can you tell what meat we used? LOL
