Schweinsbraten, also called bratl or roast salted pork, is a traditional meal of the Austrian, Bavarian, and even Bohemian cuisine. Nowadays, a Bratl is a dish for social events rather than an everyday meal. Served in a tray as ?Bratl in der Rein?, it is often the highlight of social get-togethers. Typical side dishes are ?Stöcklkraut? (parboiled and roasted cabbage) and ?Knödel? (dumplings). Even the cold bratl is a very tasty snack, particularly in combination with bread, horseradish and a glass of beer or ?Most? (a typical Austrian beverage, which is comparable to cider). This plain fare is worth a try.
