Travel is my driving force in life, and although I have had the privilege of visiting 30 countries so far, my heart will always remain in India...
Although beer is the national Austrian beverage, the country also has excellent vineyards. Wine generally accompanies a meal. The speciality is the Viennese escalope. If you are tempted by having a culinary adventure, try Tafelspitz (loin of beef covered in a horseradish sauce), Leberknöde Suppe (soup containing small balls of semolina), the Wild (saddle of venison with stewed cranberries) or Salzburger Nnockerin (a creamy soufflé in the shape of a mountain). As the pastries are also famous, you should taste the Sacher Torte (the famous chocolate cake), Apfelstrudel (an apple and cinnamon pie), Mohntorte (poppy tart) and Buchtel (cream brioche).
