Wiener Würstchen

The classic Viennese sausage is a fundamental feature of Austrian cuisine, simple to produce but brimming with flavor. Traditional Wiener Würstchen is created with a pork and beef mixture enclosed in sheep's intestine.

These thinly sliced parboiled sausages are a take on the traditional German Frankfurter Würstchen (Frankfurter sausage). They're frequently served as a main meal with sauerkraut or fermented cabbage, radishes, and Austrian potato salad.

They are, however, a popular snack, served in a hot bun with mustard, ketchup, and other condiments. In reality, Wiener Würstchen is one of Austria's most popular street delicacies, available from vendors all around the country. These should absolutely be enjoyed with a nice drink.
