Käsekrainer

Käsekrainer (German: [ˈkɛːzəˌkʁaɪ̯nɐ] ⓘ) is a type of lightly smoked Brühwurst containing roughly torn bits of pork and 10% to 20% cheese (for example Emmentaler) cut into small cubes.

Käsekrainer was invented by two people from Upper Austria, chef Herbert Schuch from Buchkirchen and Franz Thalhammer in the late 1960s.

In April 2012 Slovenia announced it would seek to have the product name "Krainer" (after Krain, the German name for the Slovenian area of Carniola) to be protected by the EU.

[3] In Vienna, where Käsekrainer is a very popular dish, according to urban legend,[4] it is customary to give an order at a Würstelstand outlet as: "a Eitrige mit an Schoafn, an Bugel und an 16er-Blech" (Viennese dialect German for: "a Käsekrainer with strong mustard, a bread loaf edge and a can of Ottakringer beer"), where the use of this phrase, in reality uncommon in actual Viennese parlance, inspired by its frequent utterance in tourist guides and television as the typical Viennese expression, can quickly mark its user as an inexperienced tourist.

[4][5] In modern times, the addition "owa Tschenifer" ("and quickly"), a cacography of the name of the singer Jennifer Rush ("Tschenifer" being the German pronunciation of the name Jennifer, corresponding to the similarity between the surname Rush and the German language word rasch, meaning "quickly") has appeared.
