After our Lapland trip, where we had to cook together, we decided to repeat this. So Georg invited me to join a typical Austrian dinner. He and some other friends prepared “Schweinsbraten”. It is typical Austrian and you can order it in every good restaurant. Altogether we were nine people and everybody had a special job to do. Some prepared the side dished like salad, dumplings and red cabbage. Georg and I were responsible for the most important ingredient, the meat! We went to the market hall and bought 3,5 kilogram of pork. “Schweinsbraten” takes really long to get ready. Altogether it was in the oven for more then 1,5 hours. We always had to check it and did some herbal brews. A really funny aspect I learned is that in some Austrian families it is common to eat this meal every Sunday. Actually it is really unhealthy. I don’t know how many calories I ate on this day, but I am sure it is much more than two Menus at McDonalds. But the taste of the food and the fun we had while preparing it, was absolutely worth it! 🙂
