Sterz Tasting – A Culinary Journey at the Folklore Museum

Prinzelsterz? Brennsterz? Bohnensterz? With coffee, mushroom soup, or perhaps with buttermilk? As simple as the basic recipe may seem, there are many different variations of it! In whichever form, one will definitely be full.

For a long time, Sterz was considered food for the poor, but today it enjoys great popularity in traditional-modern cuisine. During our tour of the museum, we will focus on the origins of this dish, find out how Sterz came to Styria, and what Archduke Johann had to do with it!

Starting with an extensive stay in the historical smoking room, where not only was cooking and eating done but also living, we begin our journey of discovery.

During this time, it is easy to talk about food and drink, and one also learns quite a bit about the historical rural everyday life in Styria.

At the end of the tour, you will find the Gut Schloßberg with an interesting cooking demonstration of three Sterz variations.
