Austrian Food Memories of Trips Past
 

I need some help with a couple of Austrian food memories.

More than 20 years ago, I think from a stand in the Prader in Vienna, we got a large disk of dough (fried, I think), with lots of garlic on it. I'm wondering about the name of it, and if it can be found other places in Vienna/Austria?


On a more recent vist, I was unable to find my favorite ice cream flavor, Marrillen (Apricot), which I had assumed would be common. Does anyone know a good location to find it in Vienna?

I think you mean Langos, which is a Hungarian dish, and indeed sold within the Prater:

I have never seen it elsewhere in Vienna - it is typical fast food.

If you enter "Marilleneis" at Google, you will get dozens of restaurants which serve apricot icecream, some of them very good.

An icecream parlor which sells Marilleneis is Zanoni & Zanoni:

I was thinking Langos too, but like traveller1959 says, it's Hungarian as I saw it being sold everywhere in Budapest; I've never seen it in Vienna. I've never been to the Prater though.

On a school trip I purchased 4 beautiful desserts from a bakery in Innsbruck. I shared them on the bus and we concluded that they looked better than they tasted. Isolated experience hopefully.

Thanks, traveller1959 and yk, that sounds like what I remember.

FACS, I think that's pretty unusual. I've usually found pastries in Europe to taste as good as they look.
