7 boozy treats you must try in Tyrol

7 boozy treats you must try in Tyrol

A homemade Zirbeler is a real delicious treat. The Austrian region Tyrol is most famous for its winter sports and ski resorts in winter and its hiking and cycling trails in summer. The idyllic mountain sights and landscapes of thick forest and ‘Almenland’, the traditional summer farms where cattle and sheep are kept in meadows above the tree line. However there’s a third type of tourism possible…

Further to its brief mention in this post, the Paprikaente (Duck Paprikash) was a great success! And quite perky, too.

Indeed, almost "thirsty" as Mr Harker calls it, so by coincidence, or possibly by crafty shopping, that wine, also Hungarian, complements the dish very nicely.

Our recipe was an amalgamation of The Best Bits from several others, so @dduane will have to write it up, which means it'll probably get posted here next week.

Meanwhile, there's enough left for second helpings (it's VERY rich and servings were kept small), so...

I'm going to go have some more.

Fasching with König

Because today is Faschingsdienstag, I just had to write something for him on that day! Today is the only day I can post this, afterwards I'll have to wait over a year again! Fasching is an Austrian holiday that is essentially the last day before fasting for 40 days, so people go all out with food and drinks and festivities, they even dress up in costumes! It's not nearly as fancy as what some other countries have, but it's tradition! Besides, who am I to say no to a Krapfen with König!

Mentions of alcohol, but König is Austrian, so what did you expect?

First off, he hates going to the city during that “holiday”, there are far too many people, the crowds are way too big and it’s too loud for his liking as well. The only reason he’s taking you to the city on that day is so you can experience more of Austria with him. At least that’s what he tells you, in reality he just really wants to go eat a Langos or two and drink a few beers. No one would judge him for that on Fasching, there are crazier bastards out there than him. He’s never been a fan of Fasching, not even when he was a kid. The only reason he looked forward to that day was because he could go home from school earlier than usual. But other than that Fasching had always irritated him. He was never one for playing dress up either.

He couldn’t say he was surprised when you came up to him, demanding for the two of you to dress up as something. The most König would do on his own would be to put on a pair of bee feelers on top of his head, but he would never consider putting on a full costume. Not only was there a chance people would stare at him, but he’d feel awkward as well. Besides, which place would actually sell a costume in his size? Not a common one. You’d need to be a bit annoying for him to put on more than just bee feelers. He’s more willing to play dress up with you as long as you put on something as well, though, even if it still wouldn’t be anything too fancy. If he can find one, he might put on a Winnie the Pooh onesie, but only because it’s somewhat comfortable, somewhat warm and because there are weirder people than him out there.

He’d hate seeing the Faschingsumzug, but he’d tolerate it just for you so you can see all the wagons together and comment on all the costumes. The music is far too loud, there are people surrounding him on every side and he still hasn’t had a single drink yet. Tragic. You might wanna hold onto his arm before you’re being swept away by the crowds. Although König usually isn't one for PDA, in this case he’d prefer to keep you close. It keeps him a bit calmer and you’re not getting lost in a city or town you barely know. You can drag him around all you want, though, he’ll comply, even if he might roll his eyes a bit whenever you wanna go take a closer look at some of the other costumes and wagons. However, get ready to be dragged to one of the nearest stands for a few Langos. They’re not amazing, nothing special in the slightest, but they’re not bad either. He’ll pay for them, naturally. You can choose between a regular Langos, a Toast Langos or even a Käsekrainer Langos. König will likely have eaten all three due to his massive appetite, but you’re more than welcome to take a bite out of them as well.

Once it’s finally getting a bit later and the masses are starting to disperse, that’s when König will be a bit less grumpy. He gets to finally go to a bar with you and drink to his heart's content, his highlight of the day. You can drink whatever you want, from soda to Pago, from Spritzer to Jägermeister, he’ll always go for a few beers. While he might seem a bit grumpy at first, once he’s had his first beer he’s a bit more cheerful, König just really hates big crowds. However, he got to spend another day with you, which is all he could ever want. While you’re sitting at the bar he might take out a few Krapfen for the both of you to enjoy as well. Might joke about getting some Heringsschmaus with you the next day, even if you don’t like fish. It’s tradition, it’s part of the Faschingszeit, but that doesn’t mean he’s a big fan of it either. No, he much prefers the Krapfen you can eat during Fasching. Not big on fasting, he loves beer and meat too much to give up either of those things and won’t even do so if you ask him to. He’s a simple man, he knows what he wants and he knows what he likes. You can pry his Schweinsbraten from his cold dead hands, and even then he’d put up a fight.

Although König loves spending time with you, he will be glad once Fasching is over and once you finally voice the thought of going home. He’s tired from all the people and the alcohol makes this situation only slightly better. Even so, despite all of that, he’s looking forward to the next holiday, proper or not, he can spend with you. Due to him having drunk some beers, he’ll likely stay in bed a bit longer the next day. A perfect opportunity to snuggle up to him for a bit. Afterwards you can discuss what you would like to eat together.

[ego-meliorem-esse]

I did it! I finaly bought myself something an ordinary Croat couldn't fkn afford! I always wanted the ipad for drawing and college work but it was just not realistic. But now after sticking to my plan and going to Austria to get a decent paycheck, I did it! I am so proud of myself not just due to materialistic reasons, but for actually going through with my plan and dedicating myself to somthing! I feel happy and satisfied and I finally feel like my own, real, independent person! 🥹

just learned that every country has a standard drink which is a definition of how much ethanol an average hypothetical alcoholic drink contains and in most countries that standard drink contains 10g ethanol. some have set it at 8, 12, or 14. but there’s one country that overrules them all by defining the standard drink to contain 20g of ethanol and that outlier is Austria.

Race? What race? Anyways, fun fact guys, did you know that Red Bull has way more sugar in America than in Europe? I seriously thought I was reading the labels wrong, but my god it is substantially worse. There's the stereotype that Americans consume more sugar and it's true but it's also against my will 😭😭 I don't wanna ☹️

I just wanted to talk about this and you seem like the most sensible person when it comes to the members 😭 i really hope jungkook is okay because he's been getting drunk in every single live and i don't know how much drinking is bad because i don't drink and nobody in my family does. What do you think? I hope he's okay 😭😭

They seem to all drink a lot tbfh fjdsfja I don't want to say my truest opinion on this because those are the kinda topics where everything you say will be met with hate. I do agree with you though that he drinks A LOT (at least for my standards because I don't drink alcohol lmao maybe it's a normal amount to alcohol drinkers idk to me it seems like a lot as well). But yeah what I wouldn't advise you to do though is baby them fjdafj that sounds weird but at the end of the day they are adults and are capable of making their own decisions and also to seek help if they need it. I do think though that they drink a lot lmao so yeah that's all I will say about that

Ooo i don’t remember you talking about so… any thoughts on Pearl in your AU? :3

hhhmmmm. she's not a part of the crew so i haven't really thought about her in that setting.. but i could do a fun little soup group thing for impulse? i suppose?

i'm thinking maybe since ren's backstory is the s9 king arc it could be a case of impulse instigating chaos via the soup group, and that's how pearl is involved.

i think the soup group would have a bit more of a real struggle going on, where it's a bigger group made up of mostly outcasts and oppressed people, so they deal with actual real shit from the king and his round table and that's where the whole king arc conflict starts.

methinks pearl is very versed in like. dumpster diving and fashioning cool little trinkets out of junk. also she's obviously an alien in the sense that she's not from this planet and looks the part. hence why she's helped found the soup group. i'm gonna need to do some thinking on this.....

researching what liquors are popular in austria for fic writing purposes and just remembering how one of my main impressions of vienna was that Czech beers were advertised more than Austrian……

the first time Victoria got canceled online was for underage drinking and being 'irresponsible' because someone found a video of her severely drunk at 15 at a ✨Bierzelt✨ (she was yelling along to 'Skandal im Sperrbezirk')
