What foods do Austria people eat?
Typical Austrian food consists of meat (pork, chicken, beef), potatoes, rice, vegetables - but also a lot of mediterrean food coming from Italy - Spaghetti, Pizza, etc.
Since a lot of people in Austria (especially in Vienna, the capitol) are immigrants in 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation, variety has increased so also food from the balkan countries and turkey can be found (Kebap, Cevapcici etc).
Meat is cooked, barbecued, steamed.
At snack stands, which are typical for Austria, you can buy "hot dogs" (sausage in white bread) and "Leberkäs" (mixture of sausage and meat), and various sausages.
Usually, restaurants offer Austrian and Italian food - but of course there are a lot of Turkish, Greek, latin American and many other international restaurants as well...
