5 Most Debated Things About Kaiserschmarrn

1. Is it a desert or a main course?!

It may be sweet, but who can really eat a whole plate of Kaiserschmarrn after a main course? Perhaps you had a salad…but let’s face it, you probably ate a Schnitzel, and therefore this whopping 600+ calorie desert isn’t exactly the light bite you were after.

2. Who makes the best Kaiserschmarrn?

Well, apparently everyone’s Grandma. No questioning.

3. Raisins or no raisins

The polarising topic. Nobody sits on the fence. Ask yourself, which side are you on?

4. It’s not just chopped up pancake
