I doubt the average American knows what a wiener schnitzel is unless they have ties to Germany. My wife knows what they are - she used to live in Germany and her mom used to make wiener schnitzel. As far as Germany goes, my daddy likes the Germans. He says they're a lot more friendly than the Swedes, who tend to be sourpusses. Ha ha, well he ought to know - he married a Swede.

Sistah Robi Kahakalau was born and raised in Germany but she somehow became an associate professor of Hawaiian language/studies and a much beloved Hawaiian singer. That's the way it is on this rock - everything is all mixed up.
