one really unique thing with Austrian desserts is that the one served warm like Kaiserschmarrn or Marillenknödel can also be the main dish. like not in restaurants but in privates homes they are served (sometimes after a soup to make it not that unhealthy) as the main dish, that's why the portions are usually quite big
I had the Nockerl in Salzburg. The waitress informed me that it was for two people. I was traveling alone, and wasn't sure when I would visit Salzburg again, much less with another person, so I ordered it anyway. I ate the whole thing.
A Schmarrn is not a pancake, it is fried pancake dough, that is the way to think about it. it is fattier, that's why it tastes better. Humans, that didn't like fat went extinct, humans that like it survived. Humanity is at a tipping point. The fat ones usually die younger, nowadays.
The most memorable part of my trip to vienna was the sweets treats. Sacretorte was my favourite 😋👌🏼. Thanks mark for all the recommendations for my next trip.
I can't remember what it was called, but when I went to Landtmann in Vienna, I had a raspberry chocolate later cake of some description. One layer was like a raspberry mousse, another chocolate mousse, and the top layer was a smooth, raspberry compote. Definitely recommend that!
Of course it's subjective, but I found the Sacher-Torte very overrated. I ate it fresh from the famous hotel in Vienne and rated it a solid meh. I brought some home for the family and ended up throwing most of them away. Nobody liked it. The rest of deserts were fantastic, especially the strudels!
I also had the original Sachertorte from Hotel Sacher, and I also found it underwhelming. I'm not sure if the cake itself is inherently like that, or if Sacher just got too complacent. Now I'm wondering if it would've tasted better if I had it from a different shop.
@@donutdude1934 na, it's definitly overrated, like in the true meaning of overrated. it's not really bad, but if you need to add whipped cream to it to make it less dry it's not the best cake of the whole country either
Mark don't be so hard on yourself for your weight. You're awesome and yes we all want you to be healthy but you don't deserve to feel bad :)
Looking forward to visiting Vienna in March and enjoying many of these luscious desserts. Thanks for the recommendations.

Good list. Some more things I enjoy are Palatschinken, Marillenknödel, Mohnnudeln, Buchteln.
I had the best time in Austria!! I went on a tour that had us make apple strudel from scratch in Salzburg. And don't miss trying kaiserschmarrn.

My favorite, right now? Every single thing you mentioned WHICH I CAN'T GET!
deserves more views - my opinion 😊
You covered just about everything. So good. Love vienna.
Went to Austria last month and I’m making Sacertorte for my birthday cake on May 31

Found the name from an old photo - the Erdbeer-Schoko-Sacher, so it was strawberry, not raspberry!
Cool video!
In Austria, we call dessert "Nachspeise" btw.
I call it "gibt's no wos?"
Kiachl looks like Mormon scones! So good with honey.
❤ Nice
One word Yummmmmmm
Ha. I was trying not to have too much sugar when I last visited Austria. I failed.
This was incredibly frustrating!
WANT!
