Austrian food inspo for Eurovision

[TheresaBackinbud]

I have drawn Austria in the work Eurovision lunch. Ie we bring in a dish from our countries and have a buffet lunch.

Apart from:

anything pork
sauerkraut
snitzel
potatoes and cheese
Apple strudel

is there anything I can take which will be tasty, authentic and easy to prepare? We have ovens at work so I can reheat a dish or cook something quickly from scratch.

please help 🇦🇹

Maybe an Austrian potato salad? I've made this before and it's lovely!

No mayonnaise, which is ideal for me as I can't bear the stuff.

Or otherwise maybe a Sachertorte?

Soup with dumplings

Kaiserschmarrn - chunky pancake pieces. Absolutely delicious.

Thank you. I’ll google the recipes and have a practice.

Apricot cakes like this are popular in Austria (and Germany):

So are plum cakes:

Nigella's recipe for Linzer cookies:

+1 for Kaiserschmarren. But a baked cheesecake might be easier to transport. Or Donauwelle Kuchen. Or a Viennese whirl type biscuit?

This website has some good ideas too.

Goulash - pre make at home and just heat. With rye bread

Apple strudel cake - tray bake

austrian potato salad is good idea

Kaiserschmarm is lovely, but it’s not great reheated. Spaetzle is also lovely with goulash but horrible reheated so don’t bother ( but both worth making at home just for your to eat)

Almdudler, a herbal lemonade is great - you can buy it online.
Otherwise Red Bull.

Beef ghoulash. I make in the slow cooker. Then reheat at work

What's wrong with
anything pork
sauerkraut
snitzel
potatoes and cheese
Apple strudel
They are the obvious things?

Or you could buy some Mozartkugeln (Mozartball) chocolates. Yum.

I imagine it's because OP's already thought of those so doesn't want 5 pages of people saying "strudel!"

Also, it sounds like it's potentially for work and pork could be problematic from a religious pov

OK,
Käsespäzli

Erdäpfelgulsch

My vote is for Spätzle or Kasespätzle. Very easy to make, very typically Tyrolian Austrian.

Alternatively, I know there are parts of Austria near Graz that go mad for chanterelle mushrooms when they're in season. Austria has a much more local and seasonal approach to food than we do.

Or Linzer Torte

Kipferl, I recently learned that croissants were based on these so could be quite easy if you buy croissant dough from the supermarket. Although on searching this I came across a cake shop which delivers all over the UK so I'd probably just order a few things from there because I'm lazy 😂. Austrian cakes

Exactly. Which is why I’ve asked for other suggestions which have been very helpful.

Oh my word!!
