It's most likely because only half that sentence is in German and it's not the part you need to understand this

Literally only one word is german since mein is basically a cognate and schnitzel is a name of a food and doesn't count.

You understand it, because it is not German.
Only two purely German words. Three, if you also count "schnitzel", which is kinda international by now and would have to be written with an uppercase "S" to be correct German.
replies:
"mein schnitzel" might be one of the funniest phrases ever uttered by a human.
