Good Evening! Time to go for our schnitzels! We will enjoy them at a typical Viennese Beisl, a traditional, no frill restaurant with a reputation for good food and drinks, but modest prices. The word Beisl (or Beisel) is probably Jewish. It oroginates from the word Bajiss, which means house. Beisls, which evolved in the 18th Century are inns offering local specialities. The style of a Beisl is like trattoria in Italy or Kneipe in Germany. The characteristics of a Beisl are the followings: measuring beverages, panelled walls, hooks for clothes on the wall, mobile partition walls, wooden tables, checked tablecloth, choice of food and beverages displayed on blackboard, spice rack on the table and marking the frequenters' tables. You can choose among Viennese specialities such as Tafelspitz (braised beef garnished with chips, chives sauce, spinache, horseradish and apple puree), Vanillierostbraten (roasted meat with garlic) and Schnitzel (fried meat). Besides the meat dishes soups are also very popular. The choice of beverages consits mainly of ales and porters and in most of the Beisls one can buy also the so called mixed beer (ale mixed with porter). As a dessert we recommend you the famouse apple strudel. <a href="http://rencooks.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/100_9110.jpg"><img src="http://rencooks.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/100_9110.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> There will be apple strudel for desert, and you can see whether it matches Petra´s [swg] <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrPLX2ARJzQ/TlfMt_kEqnI/AAAAAAAAEro/MBTpZbZFvd0/s1600/Apple+studel-6.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrPLX2ARJzQ/TlfMt_kEqnI/AAAAAAAAEro/MBTpZbZFvd0/s1600/Apple+studel-6.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> Following dinner, we will take the No. 38 tram to Grinzing, where we will end the day enjoying the good wines of the region, Blauer Zweigelt or Gruener Veltliner, entertained by Viennese "Schrammelmusik". <a href="http://www.vipress.at/uploads/tx_vipress/ulf_38_neben_autos_32968_f76b.jpg"><img src="http://www.vipress.at/uploads/tx_vipress/ulf_38_neben_autos_32968_f76b.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> Schrammelmusik  is a style of Viennese folk music originating in the late nineteenth century and still performed in present-day Austria. The style is named for the prolific folk composers Johann and Josef Schrammel.  A typical Schrammelmusik ensemble consists of two violins , a double-necked contraguitar, and a G clarinet (also known in Austria as a picksüßes Hölzl). Often a button accordion, called a Schrammelharmonika, is included. Performers strive for a melancholy, "crying", but melodious sound. The style is influenced by folk music from Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Moravia and Bavaria.
