Cultural or Historical Background

Schnitzel is a popular German dish made by cutting meat thinly and then pounding it until flat, traditionally made with veal but can be adapted to other meats like pork and chicken. Asparagus is often served alongside schnitzel in Germany during the spring season when it's at its freshest. Quark cheesecake is a lighter alternative to traditional German cheesecakes, using quark cheese instead of cream cheese for a lower-fat option.
