I randomly came across this page and wanted to make a comment. Wiener Schnitzel is simply breaded and deep fried (and if authentic made from veal, not pork), usually served with chips (pommes frites) and a wedge of lemon.
What you're describing is a Jägerschnitzel, which has a mushroom sauce.

Even after living in the UK for 15 years, I still miss "Aufschnitt" (what you were describing, all the various cold cuts). While the Brits have caught up with bread and it's not difficult to find a decent rye sourdough, they still can't make a decent German style sausage.

You might like a new German place that has opened up in London Bridge - Katzenjammers. http://www.katzenjammers.co.uk/

My husband is German and said it was pretty authentic. My favourite were the Spatzle.

@SuLin - I don't think I saw any at the time, although they do have a decent selection.

@Helen - Not sure about the salami, I think it's optional. A good option, but not always present.

@Helen YLP - Have heard various contrasting reports and am preparing myself for a return visit. Stay tuned.

@Dina - I love German food too. Especially since I was born there!

After I sent you an email I noticed this entry! That's brilliant! A miss German food a lot. It consists of many ingredients you can find in British country food but it is made with love ;)

A reader told me about the Zeitgeist pub, as she knew about my German roots too. I guess I won't bother then!

Nice! I must get to the lunchbox. I really love German food actually - all that meat. I thought German potato salad always had salami in it. Is that not true then?

Oh, I wish I worked closer to the Lunchbox! Loved the food when I was visiting Germany. I miss the fried pork knuckles the size of my head. Do they have weisswurst?
