If die Jagd is a hunt, then die Schnitzeljagd is a hunt for schnitzels, right? This makes perfect sense to me–I’m on a hunt for the best Rahmschnitzel (schnitzel in cream sauce) money can buy. But no, that’s not quite what a Schnitzeljagd is. It’s actually a hunt for Schnitzel (snips) or Schnipsel (scraps) of paper. In other words, die Schnitzeljagd is a scavenger hunt.
