What a taste time trip! Back to my travels in Austria in my youth! I'm SO glad to find a recipe that uses something OTHER than veal, given how veal calves are mistreated. I haven't had that meat in ages. And I WILL NOT until they abide by humanitarian rules. <br /><br />As for anyone who WANTS to have veal suffer so they can eat it, there are tons of recipes besides this excellent one.<br /><br />This was simple, straightforward and a joy to make and eat. And yes, I left the egg off, but I do know that in areas of Germany, eggs and beef are often combined in dishes. If anyone knows the name of a rounded one, made of beef, with a hard-boiled egg inside (with gravy PLEASE post it! I lived off those for almost a whole summer (that and something called "Schinkenkaese toast"&gt;
