Spice level warning — Schnitzel is not what I expected

I underestimated Schnitzel. The smoky and satisfying description didn't prepare me for the reality. mustard brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The a winter Christmas market setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. schnapps after the meal cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
