Traditional German food is my comfort food. Having been to Germany twice and absorbed some of the culture and cuisine, I started to eat more German food in the US. Now for the first time in a few years, I made my own. Instead of pork or veal, I used chicken breasts to make Schnitzel. For sides, I ate it with sauerkraut and a German potato salad.
Proust!

I love German comfort food especially in wintertime.
You should try some of their soups.
I had chicken schnitzel before, but this looks so much more delicious.
Not sure where you had German food but sometimes they pop up in surprising places. You also have to ask where the chefs got his recipes; preferably from his grandmother who used to live there.
