Eating Choices Revisited

 I am not sure if public service hygiene inspectors anywhere cover dietary and nutrition aspects.


I do home cooking most of the time.  When eating out across greater Sydney, 

I do find I get more thirsty an hour or two after eating out.


Aussie society is caught up with the American obsession for fast food.


Unhealthy food in Aus is generally accessible, cheaper and made addictive.


Creative ways of making salads using fresh produce are available in my side of the woods at home and when eating out.


It was reported recently that the intake of fruits and veg has fallen amongst kids in Australia, despite the blessings in this continental island for produce from tropical to temperate climes.


Aus styled barista made coffee tastes better than coffee in other western societies.  As such, coffee drinking obsession is evident in the mornings anywhere across Australia.  


How healthy is drinking too much barista made coffee?  The jury is still out.  


What is definitely

unhealthy is the Aussie penchant for having bacon and other processed small goods in their daily intake.  Every society has a historical culinary addiction to preserved, pickled and processed meats like sausages, condiments and marinates.

When not taken in moderation, they can spell trouble for the human body, especially when consumed regularly over as many years.


Another main culprit is deep fried dishes, by whatever label they come to us - crispy, oil soaked or battered.  Southern Chinese Yum Cha has its fair share of deep frieds if one avoids the steamed versions.  Banana fritters, 

deep fried chicken bites, fish and chips in the Anglo tradition, Japanese tempura and supermarket snacks are just some examples. And yes, I got my KFC deep fried chicken wings yesterday.


The ever persistent danger is the sugar level in our constant diets.  Sugar is so cheaply available and can be said to be added in varying amounts in things we eat outside, whether they are, for example, in Thai dishes, French patisserie offerings, Taiwan  bubble tea drinks or in the obvious Krispy Kream doughnuts.


 Supermarkets are stacked aplenty with items "trying to balance" between sugar, salt and fat.

Schintz Gateway Circular Quay Sydney NSW







Roman Dyduk is the founder of Papa Schnitz.  Schnitz stands for Schnitzels.   We have had fast food chains specialising in bagels. burgers, pancakes, crepes and now....


In rolls or wraps, one can have choices in several flavours - from Thai the Knot to the American Dream and Swiss.   I enjoyed my choice, with Dill pickles, honey mustard, grilled onions, Cheddar and tomato sauce drizzling over my Schnitz.   There are many common ingredients and garnishing, and only one thing perhaps distinguishes each flavour, for example the Aussie Aussie Aussie has bacon and Hawaii Five-O has pineapple. 


The menu is straight forward, with salads, kid's meals, and sides gracing the main category of wraps and rolls. The biggest serves belong to OMG! and Protein Packed, a term normally reserved for smoothies and juices.   OMG! has rindless bacon, egg and Aioli to enhance the package, while Protein Packed offers Ranch sauce, avocado, semi-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to two Schnitzels.


It was a delightful experience for us - our first time at this fast food chain - especially being served by Ayden, a focused looking young worker at the cash register, speaking well and good mannered.   The staff behind the counter generally have a hustle and bustle about the way they go about their work. 


The schintzels are of a sufficient decent size, and at this chain, combine perhaps the experience of the best of fast food.    Taste for food on the go.  Variety and choice.   Eager and fast moving engagement.   It provides an option for groups, families and those not wanting to spend too much. 



Schintz visited is located at the Gateway Food Court, Alfred Street, Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour.
There are none sites for the Schintz chain around the greater Sydney area.
Opening hours are from 10am to 5pm everyday.
