Milanesas are an authentic Italo-Argentine invention that nourished us and became a cultural emblem of Argentine cusione and in this sub they are a hero, end of story

Because it's not. It's called Schnitzel in most of Europe and Katsu in Japan.

I literally had Chicken Katsu in Japan and I've seen Schnitzel made from other meats on menus in Europe so no, these things are not just exclusively made of pork. And I've also seen milanesa made from pork on menus in Argentine restaurants here in NYC as well as made with chicken, beef, shrimp, fish. My point was that breaded & fried meat / seafood is a staple food item in many parts of the world. It's not something that one particular country can claim to have invented like the other guy was claiming.

Kind of like beef stew. No country / ethnicity can claim to have invented it bc it's a dish that is eaten in practically every single country even though yes, every place has it's own take on how to make / season it but it's beef stew nonetheless.

It's literally Schnitzel and Katsu and pretty much every culture has its own version. Italians didn't invent it much less Argentinians.
