Frankfurter Schnitzel · Frankfurt
A crisp pork schnitzel served the Frankfurt way: cold Grüne Soße over or beside it, with fried potatoes. The collision of hot crumb and cold herb sauce is the whole point.
Vienna may own the schnitzel, but Frankfurt annexed it by sauce. The Frankfurter Schnitzel is pork rather than veal, pan-fried in butterfat and served with the city's cold seven-herb Grüne Soße, usually with halved boiled eggs and fried or boiled potatoes. Apfelwein taverns standardised the pairing in the 20th century as their kitchens grew from cheese-and-bread snacks into full menus, and it remains the single most ordered plate on Sachsenhausen's tavern strips.
