Concept and conceptual criticism

The term “ gypsy ” is increasingly being rejected in German usage. At least until the turn of the millennium, this rejection of use as a word component in music, gastronomy and the food industry did not affect it. In the use of the term, experts see an undisclosed “taste of freedom” as well as a “smack of discrimination”, but in contrast to the “ Negro kiss ”, however, the term was not widely disapproved . As an alternative name for the dish, the terms paprika schnitzel , which in culinary terminology already refers to a different basic recipe, or Balkan schnitzel have been brought into public discussion.

After a forum of the Sinti and Roma in Hanover asked the manufacturers of "Gypsy sauces" to rename them because the term was discriminatory, the city of Hanover decided in the late summer of 2013 to no longer offer the dish in its city canteens under the name Gypsy Schnitzel , but as "Schnitzel Balkan Style" or "Schnitzel Budapest Style". A year later, the sociologist Wolfram Stender called the past public reporting “a lesson about how shabbily the Sinti and Roma minority are treated today”.
