Yeah all the food in the Austrian/German regions is like that in my experience too. Less preservatives and shit so has to be fresh.E.H.

It was a simple grain toast with pork belly and cheese on it, but it tasted so fresh and incredible.

The brilliance of bacon is in its thinness. Pork belly is all the wrong ratio.tragabigzanda wrote:It’s not overrated, it’s fucking delicious when done right. The problem is that it became a go-to menu item for mediocre restaurants to convey gastropub trendiness, and it wound up on every menu, in varying degrees of execution.
But good lord let’s not say things like “pork belly is overrated.” It’s 3/4” succulent bacon. The platonic ideal of pork belly is properly rated as godly.

On our air France flight from Vienna to Paris we were offered a choice of sandwiches. I chose the smoked salmon. But it was a smoked salmon and egg salad sandwich. You know what? It worked!
