Think of Vienna, and you get Vienna Waltz, Wiener Schnitzel, Vienna Sausage...and I don't mean those strange grey things lurking in a can. For me, one of the highlights of visiting Vienna is the profusion of sausage stands on street corners.
They take on a variety of shapes, their signs variously proclaim WÜrstl, Hot Dog and even Happy Noodles (also serving Asian dishes), but they all feature, at a minimum, a wonderful array of grilled (not boiled!) sausages, including bratwurst, the spicy krainerwurst, and a Vienna (slightly odd to me) specialty, the kÄsekrainer, which adds a core of cheese to the sausage. With the sausage, sliced at the counter, you get bread and a choice of hot or sweet mustard.
I can hardly wait for the next time!
