No but seriously, if anyone out there could translate the average Austrian mountain restaurant menu for me, that would be fantastic.  I'm used to skiing in France so no trouble there but distant memories of skiing in Austria in my school days bring back images of 'frites' etc etc etc day after day. What's the food like on the Austrian slopes and is it good value? Cheers guys

My sister and her friend used animal noises to order a ham sandwich & a chicken sandwich  That method doesn't work well for vegetarians though.

Tiroler Gröstl = This is basically a traditional dish made from leftovers (e.g. meat/sauage, potatoes, onions, dumplings & pasta) all cooked up together in a pan with a fried egg on top.
Note: it probably won't actually be leftovers, but that's why the dish originated from.

Hats off to DB for effort. To answer your other questions, Austrian food on the mountain (and in the town) seems to be pretty good value and good quality. It helps if you like pig, though, and dumplings - and, let's be honest, who doesn't?

I've skied in France, Austria and Switzerland and the mountain food is definitely the best / most reasonably priced in Austria.
Tiroler Grostl is definitely good, Kasspatzle is a novel eating experience - basically stodgy pasta/dumpling in a pungent cheese sauce, possibly topped with crispy fried onions. Somedays I like it, and some days I don't - feel like lying down for the afternoon to digest...

What's with the raisins and Austria, they seem to get randomly chucked in??? I'm not a big fan of them and if the menu said the dish included them I wouldn't order it but when you order a nice apple dish and it comes with them it's a bit annoying.

If you are looking for something light, soups with bread (suppe mit Brot) are a good idea.
Rindsuppe mit Leberknödel or Leberknödelsuppe = Liver meatball in a clear soup.
Frittaten Suppe = strings of pasta in a clear soup
Knoblauchsuppe = Garlic soup

As possibly their most famous pastry/desert, (in a country famous for cakes and pastries) and widely eaten in England and most other places, couldn't they assume people know what Apfelstrudel is?

FenlandSkier, HappyMouffe once bought a "raisin bagel" in chester - expecting to get a bagel containing a few raisins - instead she got a plain bagel buried under a pile of raisins
Do you have a problem with raisins?

??? it was me translating and stating the obvious. Sometimes people will make desserts for those of us who are too picky to eat rasins.
I was just stating the obvious as sometimes something with the same name isn't the same (e.g. bacon/speck) and a sausage isn't just a sausage it's a whole new food group over here.
