Best Food From Vienna

// July 25th, 2008 // No Comments » // Personal

Last night we enjoyed a meal at this tiny restaurant (owned by two gay guys). We had a four course meal for 44 euros each but sooooooo very worth it. First two courses were fish soup with seared scallops and a homemade lasagna with rare mushrooms in between that are only found in Vienna. Main course was prawns with tomato and watermelon salad and palenta. We had a chardonay for dinner (also from Vienna) and a special desert wine for dessert from the same vineyard. Dessert consisted of a sheep/goat cheese, some other kind of cheese and a handpicked/homemade blueberry jam, amaretto pudding, pastachio ice cream with some sort of flan and a stick of chocolate. That meal was probably the best meal we have had so far.  And come to think of it, the best food in general we have had so far is in Vienna. Today we ate at this vegetarian restaurnat (also very good). We each had a large plate of garbanzo beans, spinach, tabuleh, cucumber tzatziki, green beans, rice pilaf with cashews, and some other really good stuff. Also had a zuchinni soup. We have walked around every city/district in its entirety. Gio got tons of shopping done and believe it Lauren has not had very much luck.  The euro is definately not in our favor. Lauren actually has to think very hard before making a decision. 

Oh by the way we did try their famous desserts (chocolate cake with apricot filling/jam) called sachertorte, at this amazing place called Demel that has been making pasteries for the courts since forever.  The hot chocolate there was also amazing and so was the amaretto/marangue cake Gio had. That same day we tasted these sandwiches (open faced) made of all sorts of pastes (egg salad, tuna salad, salmon, paprika and tons of others that I can not remember). These sandwhiches are very typical Viennese fast food (who knew fast food could be soooo tasty). They cost only .90 euros per sandwhich. We accompanied the sandwhich with these tiny tiny mini beers called pfiffs.  By the way the weather has been overcast and around 6 pm everyday it begins to rain which at thw same time it gets a little more chilly.

Very romantic.

Well, off to budapest…

Go Green With A Soda Bottle

Conserve Water! Fill a plastic bottle with water and place it in the tank of an old toilet. It takes up space so the tank uses less water to refill each time you flush.
