What Austrian dishes do you recommend

What Austrian dishes do you recommend?
I am planning on attending a language school in Vienna, Austria next summer and since I'm at work, hungry, and bored my thoughts drifted to food. Sooo, I thought I'd ask what Austrian dishes you'd all recommend I try during my stay! :-)

I'll tell you the most famous...."Wiener Schnitzel"...(Sacher Torte as the ultimate dessert ...by the way)Well back to Schnitzel..and you don't have to be in Vienna to get creative on this one at home: You can use Veal, Chicken or Pork filets thinly cut...then u put flour in one bowel, scrambled eggs in the second bowl , plain bread crumbs in the third bowl...now u season the meat with salt and pepper and start the breading: slide the meatslices through the flour first ..then through the eggs and then through the breadcrumbs ...next fry in pan with lots of butter...enjoy ...cranberry compott tastes very good with it ...I cook this quiet a lot for my family and friends and they all go crazy over it..lovin it Here's other must haves for when you are there in Austria: Filled meat dumplings, beef gulasch, leberkaese, well you'll find out I better stop now cause I'm already trooling..lol

Wiener Schnitzel is definately your best choice... it is made from veal, and veal only. Not chicken or pork or whatever starz said. Also, unless you go to Germany you wont find cranberry compott anywhere with your schnitzel, try mayonayse salat instead. Schweinebraten mit Kraut & knoedel or Krenfleisch in the winter. Desserts you should try are Germknoedel or Kaiserschmarnn...

I recommend "Steirischer Backhendlsalat" (Styrian Salad with fried chicken) It typically consists of breaded and fried chicken strips served on a nice selection of different types of lettuce, tomatoes and other veggies. Sometimes there is also potato salad, but without mayo. What makes it "Styrian" (Styria is a provice in the south of Austria) is Kürbiskernöl (pumpkin seed oil). Be prepared - it looks like old motor oil when it comes out of the bottle and turns a rich green when stirred. Taste-wise it reminds me of walnuts, and it also has a roasted flaovor to it. Yummy!

I have only been to Austria once and was with some locals that their son ordered a macaroni and cheese type dish made with what they called stinky cheese and I tell you this he was sitting 10 feet away and when they brought the dish out my throat started to gag,they say it is good but you need to get it past you nose.

Beside the world famous Wiener Schnitzel (which I don't really like but think any person who visits Austria should try) and an Apfel Strudel, I would recommend Steirischer Backhendlsalat, Zwiebelrostbraten ( a thin slice of top sirloin topped with flour-dipped fried onions), Kaesespaetzle (literally translated into English: little cheese sparrows:-). However, this dish is something for the cold months of the year as a real calorie-bomb. Don't forget to order a glass of Schnaps afterwards, it will do your digestion good. Go for Griecherl-, Zwetschken- or Marillenschnaps). For dessert, try Palatschinken (austrian pancakes) or just go to that famous Oberlaa Cafe in Vienna and choose anything you like from those specialities they offer. If you love chocolate, make sure you get that piece of Sacher tart, but in a cafe of Sacher Hotel ONLY, as this is where the tart "was born" and they still keep the original recipe a secret. The tart DOES taste different there and is simple beyond delicious.

You got some good answers, Kitty, but here are a couple more from an Austrian-American who spends a lot of time in Austria. Hungarian goulash is usually very good in Vienna. This is beef cooked forever with onions and spices, especially paprika, and the gravy is usually to die for. Pork roast is another dish that hardly ever disappoints. As an American, you'll probably want to trim off some more fat, like I do, but there is usually plenty of luscious meat left. You can usually get very good trout, if you like fish. They have something called "salmon trout" (Lachsforelle), which is a trout with pink flesh, and very good. Another thing is soup. They make great soups, especially beef broth. A beef soup with vegetables makes an excellent lunch. Try beef soup with "Fritatten", those are left-over crepes cut into ribbons and put in the soup like noodles. In many Austrian restaurants, you still order items separately. You might order meat and a salad, or meat, potatoes, and a salad, or fish, dumplings, and a salad. This is not always true in touristy places, where they cater to people who expect a dish all put together. Make sure you know which way it is, or you might end up with a piece of meat and nothing else, or a plate full of food plus side dishes. It is perfectly fine to ask how the food comes -- even Austrians do that. Do you know that Austrians usually eat dinner at noon and a small supper at night? That is why offices and stores are often shut from noon to 2 PM. Austria has really great sausages and cold cuts, potato salad, cole slaw, and such, so supper can be a real adventure, and you don't have to go out to a restaurant.

I checked the MOFA webpage and no Austria is not listed, it's not done on location rather goverenment ties. Apparently Austria isn't that interested in fostering a better relationship with Japan, or vice versa. And Australians can go for 18 months. The working Holiday visa is 6 months and the amount of times you can extend depends on what country you are from.

Every Australian University has a Career Centre. Permission to work in Australia is no longer attached to the Australian student visa if the visa is granted outside Australia. But they can get a new student visa with work rights after they begin their own course at an Australian University. They only required paying AUD $50 application fee for the new visa. This new visa allows the student to work 20hrs a week when school is in and longer during the school holidays.

hi , I am an indian in germany, so I think I would be able to help. on campus jobs in my university are rare I think it is the same in austria as well,german/austrian universities have very limited studenten arbiet austria has uni's and fachhochshule's it depends where you want to study. Part time jobs are hard to come by it also depends on the city that you are living in if you dont get one in university but your resident city is big then your chances are higher. right now austrian universities are only charging 360 euros per sem for fees which is going to be increased shortly. Knowledge of german is very helpfull but austrians have a very accented german , its more closer to bayerisch than higher deutsche. I would still suggest you to try for USA that is the best place to try but if you still want austria then, Veile gluck!!!!!!!!

Yeah games are region coded, so you are either gonna have to import US games or have your 360 modified to play all region coded games, you are also going to need a transformer cuz the power outage is different. You are better off selling it and getting one over there.
