Tradition meets sustainability: Gansl meals in Graz bars in November

Autumn not only brings with cooler temperatures, but also a long tradition in Austrian cuisine: Gansl meal. Around Martin's Day on November 11th, the “Martinigans” is very popular in many restaurants and inns. The roots of this tradition go back to St. Martin from Tours, which marked the end of the agricultural season for many people. During this time, many enjoy a festive Gansl meal that is often served with crispy fried goose, red cabbage and dumplings. This not only ensures culinary enjoyment, but also contributes to the cozy atmosphere that many are looking for and appreciated.

In Graz, numerous restaurants specialize in offering their guests a traditional Gansl menu. The selection ranges from regional delicacies to dishes that sustainably and pay attention to the origins of the ingredients. Particular attention now applies to the origin of the geese itself, which is increasingly coming to the fore. More and more guests are interested in how the geese were held and whether they come from regional or biological providers. The demand for herbal alternatives is also growing because more and more people want to consume more consciously.

The questions about the origin of the geese are of great importance. The keeping conditions vary greatly: While geese often live under adverse conditions in other countries, Austrian geese, including organic geese, usually have access to the outdoor and can move to grass. This aspect is important to consider if you want to treat yourself to a goose. A culinary tip: Meat from pastures has a darker and low -fat quality compared to geese from conventional factory farming.

If you want to be on the safe side, you should call the restaurants in advance to get information about the origin of the geese. This information is often missing on the menus, but the companies can still provide them on request.

The tradition of Gansl meal in Graz is not only a culinary experience, but also raises important questions about animal husbandry and origin. For all those who want to enjoy autumn and the cosiness of the season, Gansl Essen is an absolute highlight.
