Prinzerlsterz? Brennsterz? Bohnensterz? With coffee, mushroom soup or with buttermilk? As simple as the basic recipe may seem, there are so many different variations! Whatever form it takes, you're sure to get your fill.
For a long time, Sterz was considered a poor man's food, but today it enjoys great popularity in traditional modern cuisine. On our tour of the museum we will look at the origins of this dish, find out how Sterz came to Styria in the first place, and what Archduke Johann had to do with it!
We will start our journey of discovery with an extended stay in the historic smokehouse, where people not only cooked and ate, but also lived.
It's a good time to talk about food and drink, and you'll also learn a lot about the historical everyday life of farmers in Styria.
At the end of the tour, the Schloßberg estate awaits you with an interesting show cooking of three Sterz varieties.
Meeting point: 4.30 p.m. at the Volkskundemuseum (Paulustorgasse 11)
The event starts with a 50- to 60-minute guided tour, followed by a Sterz show cooking at Gut Schloßberg with a shared meal and a cosy evening.
