The pub classic that's about to get hit by inflation – are you prepared to shell out more?

To our members out there who are huge fans of this crowd-favourite pub dish, we have some unfortunate news for you…
It would appear that the time-honoured chicken schnitzel is about to become the most recent casualty of growing inflation, as reports indicate that its price will be creeping upward.
Ingham's, the largest chicken supplier in the country, has already advised its customers to prepare them for price increases that will take place this year.
This is because the cost of keeping farms and feeding chickens keeps going up, and farmers have no choice but to raise prices to make up the difference.

According to Ingham's, the cost of chicken, which is normally the least expensive meat available on the market, will start going up almost immediately and will remain on an upward trend throughout the next year.
According to The Australian, Ingham's cost of feeding its national flock increased by more than $45 million in the previous fiscal year and is predicted to do so again this year.
The company also explained that the price hike was caused by higher feed prices – flooding, subpar farming conditions, worker shortages, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the escalating price of fuel are all factors as well.
As a result, Ingham's claimed it would be obliged to raise prices in supermarkets, restaurants, butcher shops, and fast-food chains.

After huge price increases for basic commodities such as fruit and vegetables, petrol, and electricity, Aussie homeowners are again feeling the pinch.
According to a survey by consumer advocacy group CHOICE, nine out of ten Aussies are feeling the effects of the cost of living crisis.
The annual inflation rate was most recently reported at 6.1 per cent - the highest in decades.
The data also shows that Australians are paying extra at the register when shopping for groceries.
Due to supply shortages brought on by flooding in NSW and Queensland, it was reported that a head of lettuce went up to $10.
The overall price of vegetables went up by 7.3 per cent, the price of meals out and takeout went up by 1.4 per cent, and the price of fruit went up by 3.7 per cent.
'Supply chain disruptions due to flooding events, labour shortages, and rising freight costs contributed to higher prices,' according to findings by the Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Uh oh, there you have it, folks. We may have to skip out on our favourite pub dish for a while, but that doesn't mean we have to give it up forever.
If you want chicken schnitzel, but you don't want to spend the money or take the time to go to the local pub, you could just prepare it at home and save money and time. For a recipe, watch the video below:
