I AM Milanese, Fred. I've eaten Costoletta Milanese (which is Milanese dialect and the proper name for the dish), in Milano, 3 times in my life, not to mention the homemade variety, easily over 300 times in my life.
Oh, and I made it for dinner last Saturday.
If you Americans want to label things incorrectly, go right ahead. But it doesn't exist.
the fact that you ate a dish and know how to preprae a version of it does not mean you are an expert.
"Costoletta" or "Cotaletta" describes the cut of meat. "Milanese" describes how it is prepared.

Like Schnitzel, it's traditionally made with veal but you can easily substitute chicken or pork instead.

The milanesa (in Italian "cotoletta alla milanese") is a dish common in South American countries where generic types of breaded meat fillet preparations are known as a milanesa.
A milanesa consists of a thin slice of beef, chicken, veal, or sometimes pork,
