... from liver dumplings to sliced spleen soup. Within the scope of its music week “swing on snow” around the Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s largest mountain pasture is undertaking a culinary journey called “inner values” this year for the first time and is addressing itself to the topic “pluck”. Liver, kidneys, sweetbread, tripe and Beuschel have again become presentable in recent years. What in the times of the Kaiser was devised as a necessity is today a gourmet speciality threatened with extinction. Beuschel, Geschnetzeltes (thin strips of meat) of calf’s lights and heart may not appeal to everyone. In spite of this, it is just as much a cultural asset as Canederli (dumplings), Krapfen (a kind of doughnut), Strauben (an Eisack valley dessert) and Strudel.
