Over the several times of Austria's presence, an exceptional custom of Austrian Cuisine has risen. Its conventional and understood formulas draw in a large number of travelers every year. Austria's rich Cuisine is a consequence of its history as a multi-national domain, where a wide range of various societies contributed their own special subtleties.
The Habsburg Empire stretched from the borders of Imperial Russia to the Adriatic and consisted of more than a dozen nationalities with over 51 million people speaking sixteen different languages. Within the last seven centuries, the cosmopolitan Habsburg rule extended over Switzerland, Alsace, Burgundy, Spain, Holland, Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. All of the above have influenced Austria's cuisine in their own way.
However, not all of what can be delighted in at Austria's restaurants and cafés these days has gently discovered its way into Austria's kitchens. Many a recipe and ingredient had been washed ashore by Austria's melting pot of pan-european cooking by accident or as a coincidence or war. The Turkish attack of Europe for instance proclaimed the introduction of Austria's espresso culture by acquainting the espresso bean with Viennese cooks. Moreover, "Apfelstrudel" is an Austrian rendition of a Turkish delicacy presented amid the Turkish occupation. The Wiener Schnitzel presumably began in northern Italy, while the delightful Palatschinken (crêpes) and the Gulasch originated from the Hungarian fields; the meals and frankfurters were initially Southern German luxuries, the baked goods started in Bohemia.
Apart from the foreign influences on Austrian cuisine, every Austrian features their own local dishes: Frittatensuppe (crêpe soup) comes from Styria, Speckknödel (bacon dumplings) from Tyrol; and Salzburg, Mozart’s home, has contributed the so-called Salzburger Nockerln, a sweet soufflé made from eggs.
MEALTIMES
Breakfast is of the "continental" type, more often than not comprising of bread moves with either stick or frosty meats and cheese, joined by espresso, tea or juice. The early afternoon supper was generally the principle dinner of the day, however in present day times as Austrians work longer hours facilitate from home this is not true anymore. The primary feast is currently regularly taken at night.
A mid-morning or mid-evening snack of a slice of bread topped with cheese or ham is alluded to as a Jause, and a more considerable variant much the same as a British "cultivator's lunch" is known as a Brettljause after the wooden board on which it is generally served.
