Reality check: life isn’t all turquoise lakes an Reality check: life isn’t all turquoise lakes and lamb roasts. Things are grey and damp here and once again, staying in’s very much the new going out. How are you all doing? How are things where you are?
I had an above average number of favourite meals d I had an above average number of favourite meals during my time in SalzburgerLand, and this was right near the top of them. Schöpsernes is a lamb dish from the Lungau region that’s prepared and eaten during what’s known in Austria as the fifth season - harvest festival. It’s traditionally made with the first animal slaughtered once a herd has been brought down from their summer in the alpine pastures. A whole lamb is butchered and roasted with garlic and salt and served with roast potatoes, cabbage salad with caraway and speck, a sort of bread sauce with whipped cream and horseradish (a revelation!!), and lingonberry sauce. Schöpsernes used to be a celebratory family meal eaten once a year, but today, it’s available throughout harvest festival season in restaurants all over the region. And it is so very, very good; the combination of its individual flavours far greater than the sum of its parts. I’m going to find out how to make that bread sauce, and then I’m getting myself a lamb and we’re celebrating harvest festival here in Rheinhessen 😂 . [I tried this on assignment for @foodandtraveled courtesy of @tourismuslungausalzburgerland, so I believe this somehow probably counts as an #ad.]
