 Poster: A snowHead
|
To my embarrassment I have not especially spent much time on Austrian slopes... circumstance has generally meant i’ve been to France.
Still, i’ve just booked a long weekend with a couple of buddies to Mayrhofen in March.
Totally looking forward to some apres ski nonsense, of which I have seen some good recommendations thus far on the forum...
But, can you recommend me some traditional Austrian lunchtime dishes I should not miss out on?

Tiroler groestl (fried potatoes, bacon, herbs, with a fried egg on top and usually a portion of sauerkraut on the side)
Germknoedl (massive dumpling with jam inside and usually covered in loads of warm vanilla sauce)
Brettljausen (every kind of preserved pork on one plate)
Schweinshax'n (roast pork knuckle joint, like something from the Flintstones)

Käsekrainer mit pommes.
Smoked sausage stuffed with cheese, and chips.
Mmmmm

Kaseknocken...cheese with spatzle. Like an austrian mac n cheese.
Ribs (ripperl)

@Richie_S, have a couple of germknodels on the first day. They’ll keep you going for days if stuck in a crevasse.
+1 for gulaschsuppe.

Aaaaaah... all sounds lush! The Tyrolean Groestsl especially looks like it should be sought out! Thanks for the feedback!
Feeling hungry already!

Käsespätzle is my favourite!!
Def check out the Apfelstrudel which comes with a choice (I recommend fluffy cream, but you can have vanillesauce) and Kaiserschmarrn (fluffy pieces of pancakes which you dip in apple sauce) if you've not had them before. They are both amazing and delicious.

Leberkäse -no not liver and not cheese. Best imho with a fried egg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Dumplings in all their varieties.
Knödel = dumpling
Spinatknödel = spinach dumpling
Leberknödel = liver + bread dumpling
Speckknödel = bacon + bread dumpling

plus 1 for the kaiser thing - amazing
I would have said Germknodel too, as its a pretty unique dessert, but I was told most of them come from the Supermarket?

@skimastaaah, white wine with ribs?
A lot of good recommendations there, hot Strudel with ice cream mmmmm, Tiroler gröstl is very good, pressknodel soup (sp) cheese dumplings in a clear soup is also recommended.

Yeah but although they translate it as meatloaf it's very different to British or American meatloaf. The closest equivalent I'd say is cooked luncheon meat, very tasty with a Spiegelei and some potato salad.

@Chris_n, matching colour of wine to food is passé. Drink what you like..my choice would be blaufrankish

Indeed. Fried egg and kartoffelsalat for the OP

My faves:
Gulaschsuppe (beef goulash soup, thick & spicy, often served with bread)
Wiener Schnitzel Cordon Bleu (pork cutlet with a layer of ham & cheese fried in breadcrumbs, often served with fries)
Ripperl (ribs, often with a spicy rub, had some great spicy ribs this year served with a baked potato with sour cream)
Apfelstrudel mit Vanillesauce (apple strudel with vanilla custard)
Topfenstrudel mit Vanillesauce (curd cheese strudel with vanilla custard)
Kaiserschmarrn (pancakes chopped into strips, dusted with icing sugar and served with plum, cranberry or apple compote, the pancakes often have raisins too)
There is often the usual international fare like burgers, hot dogs, pasta, lasagne, pizza etc which is usually very tasty.

Linseneintopf ( excuse spelling) - very hearty lentil and veg stew served with a couple of sausages or a big dumpling.
Kalbsrahmbuschel (sp again) another stew, this one containing all the very best mysterious bits of animals. You'll often be asked if you know what's in it when you order!
A dirty curryworst is surprisingly popular....
+1 for kaseknockern. Cheesetastic.

Basically it's all carb heavy stodge with portions that are many times Michelin size. I'm always surprised at the number of people who can put away a soup, full schnitzel and a germnknodel/kaiserschmarrn and then still movr.

An astonishingly appetite-curbing thread. Almost the only one of these dishes I like is a well-made Gulaschsuppe.

@holidayloverxx, "Blutwurstgrostl" - it just gets better!
@PORTMAN, Those Zillertaler Krapfen look just the thing to stuff in a pocket for an 'on lift' snack if feeling a little peckish!
Thanks for all the recommendations - can't wait to tuck in!

Wot no Wiener Schnitzel? Has to be calf of course, not Schnitzel Wiener Art, which is pork and is not a patch on the real thing.
Seems we have missed Topfenpalatschinken. To die for.
