Mad Cow Disease Austrian style
Going from aquatic pigs to bovine products that may have scared the living daylights out of people a while ago 
While the first dish is not an Austrian staple (it is mine, though), the second and third definitely are. So, here we go!
A beef tartare for starters. Of a do it yourself variety, which is definitely a plus, since it makes it easier to make accomodations for my tomato allergy 
Followed by the oh so tasty main - battered and deep fried beef brains - mad cow disease inducing but truly delicious. Not something I ever managed to persuade my Anglosaxon friends to try
With a nice potato salad and a nicely crisp Grüner Veltliner 
And a no less typical dessert - a Kaiserschmarn with a plum compote (or whatever the correct English translation would be). And the only beef free dish of the evening
Bon appetit! And if I start appearing weird in the coming days, you know where it's coming from

A real staple of the Austrian cuisine
And something my father occassionally used to make for supper at home, so definitely a favourite of mine. The only variation I have from the standard recipe is that I have it without raisins, as I cannot eat them.
I also do not eat raisins.
But this dish is strongly associated with skiing for me. There is a particular place I have in mind in the Alps, where we always have it after a mountain of meat has been consumed (and many Williams, of course).
Thank you - glad it is preparing you for the weekend!
Anything similar you're planning?
Question. Is that butter with the steak tartare. Never seen that before
Unless it is to put on toast tips to spread the tartare on.
