Aroma (coffee) Festival at the Rocks: Thats a HUGE Schnitzel




Guess the title of this blog really doesn't flow but just trust me on this one, it'll all make sense....

But before I get into the blog, I must use some coffee jokes because well, because its my blog.

Like my men like I like my coffee, tall dark and hot!
What do you call a cow that just gave birth? De-CALF-inated! ha!

Okay, now that I've gotten those out of my system.... I had been looking forward to the Aroma Festival since I arrived in Sydney. It was an all day coffee festival that ran along The Rocks to Darling Harbour. Just the smell of the festival is enough to get you moving. The coffees were from all over the world, not to mention there was a selection of teas and chocolates to try as well. Ahh if there is a heaven on earth it is the aroma festival.

And what a better way to end the day than with a giant Schnitzel? Following the festival, we hit the Lowenbrau Keller (Bavarian restaurant) for some Polka and German eats (makes perfect sense to follow a day of coffee with Lederhosen doesn't it?! I told you the title would make sense!). I kid you not when I say that this was the biggest Schnitzel I have ever seen. Pounded flat and breaded-- I am pretty sure that it was an entire pig.... there are no jokes that would do this justice I'll just let the picture speak for itself. The jokes can follow later.

After eating this, well you are pretty much Schnitzeled(TM)
I am trying to bring the term "Schitzeled" to the states; for instance after a night on the town: "Man, that was a long night, I'm schnitzeled"

Use it, love it :)
