Viennese Sausagestand Glossary
“A ‘Eitrige’ with a ‘Bugl’ and a 16er Blech!”
This classic Viennese order is something you might hear at a traditional sausagestand. It usually means a Käsekrainer (cheese-filled sausage), a slice of dark bread, and a can of Ottakringer beer – Vienna’s local brew.
A Eitrige
A Käsekrainer – juicy sausage filled with melted cheese (literally: “the oozing one”).
Krokodü
A pickled cucumber (the crunchy, salty kind – beloved as a side dish).
Bugl (or Buckel)
The end piece of dark rye bread – soft inside, crusty outside. A local favorite.
A 16er Blech
A can of Ottakringer beer, brewed in Vienna’s 16th district (“16er”). “Blech” is slang for can.
