European Mountains Cuisine

Skiing for the whole day may be very tiring. Waiting in the queue for ski lifts, changing slopes, skiing on a really long track - all that may make us want to relax for a moment. We can just sit and enjoy the beautiful views around us, but we can also go to one of the many chalets in the area. Those existing in European ski resorts are not cosy huts any more. They were transformed into huge complexes, with everything needed inside. One of their main function now is not providing a place to sleep, but a place to eat.
Restaurants in ski resorts offer a wide range of dishes, to suit everyone's needs. No matter whether you are a vegetarian, or you love eating meat - you will always find something for you. The cuisine served there is often international, so you can find pizza and hamburgers just one next to each other. But maybe, while being in a different country, you would like to try something special?
A very good example for a traditional cuisine in a ski resort is Austria, with its famous skiing area - Tirol. Menus include everything from traditional Tirolean meals to international dishes and lean cuisine. Typical Tirolean specialities include: Speckknödel, Gröstel and Tiroler Leber. Speckknödels are dumpings with cured ham, served in beef stock or with the Coleslaw salad. Gröstel is a sliced pan fried onions and potatoes with meat, cured ham and eggs. Tiroler Leber is veal or beef liver with onions, cured ham, lemon juice and wine. As for a dessert you should choose famous Apfel Strudel, which is an excellent apple strudel.
