The Austrians have their mouths full of sweet teeth. The seemingly endless variety of sugary dumplings, strudels, pastries, tarts and other delights that most tourists have never heard of let alone know how to pronounce bear witness to both culinary creativity and heroic fearlessness when it comes to calories. If you are striving for an hourglass silhouette, you will need to combine consumption with plenty of hikes in the Austrian Alps. If not: unbuckle your belt and dig in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Original Salzburger Mozartkugel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWolferl\u201d, as Mozart was sometimes called by his family, had been dead for almost a hundred years when the Salzburg confectioner Paul F\u00fcrst invented the Mozartkugel<\/em> or Mozart Bonbon. So just to make things clear: this treat was never part of the wunderkind\u2019s regular diet. Nevertheless, the harmonious creation was a tremendous success. Ever since, copycats have been popping out of the Salzburg soil like mushrooms. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll need a couple of hard facts to distinguish the real bonbons from the imitators: 1. The original Mozartkugel is spherical and not flattened as some of the knock-offs are. 2. It is packed in blue and silver aluminium foil and depicts the famous composer. 3. Only the product of Paul F\u00fcrst\u2019s descendants, who regretfully failed to patent the invention, is allowed to bear the name Original Salzburger Mozartkugel<\/em>. 4. The original praline also differs from the copies in terms of manufacturing: a ball of pistachio marzipan is coated with a layer of nougat, dipped in chocolate and placed on a wooden stick to dry. Finally, the hole from the stick is covered with more chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
