Hotdogs and Syrup

Servus! Natalie and I just got back from our friend Alberto's room. We watched the Osterriech und Deutschland futbal game with him and Marcus. Germany won 3-0.

Last night we were having a few drink with them and Alberto asked us if we wanted to grill some sausages. HAHA! Grill sausages?? We said no, but tonight he ended up doing it; apparently in austria, "sausage" is actually an american hotdog. I tried to tell them that, but they said no, it is a sausage, when you have bread with the sausage, then it is a hotdog! So, I'm pretty sure they do not have actual american sausage meat here.

HAHA, oh yeah...when I thought they were making actual sausage meat, I asked if they ever have it with syrup, and they said no, but said they would try...so they got out their syrup. Little did i know though, that their "sausage" is actually "hotdog." When I explained to them that hotdogs would not be good in syrup they insisted on trying it anyway! DISGUSTING!

By the way, syrup cost 5,90 Euro--or 9.50 US dollars!!! Holy cow.

We also found out that there is an american grocery store in klagenfurt somewhere--thank god.

Also, instead of shaking hands with the other team after soccer games, they exchange jerseys.
