Jägerschnitzel

Jägerschnitzel is a German schnitzel of pork cutlets served with a mushroom gravy. The "Jäger" in the name means "hunter", which refers to the sauce, which is known as "chasseur sauce" in French, which also means "hunter." The use of mushrooms and wild herbs is intended to evoke the mushrooms a hunter would gather from the woods on the way home after a successful hunt; traditionally, Jägerschnitzel would have been made with venison or wild boar, which emphasizes the connection further.
