After a vegan experiment, Viennese sausage is now halal

oe24IndependentCenter5 hr. ago

Two popular sausage stands in Vienna are temporarily replacing their traditional pork-based Käsekrainer sausages with halal versions from October 23rd to 26th as part of a cultural initiative. The change aims to make the traditional Austrian sausage stand more inclusive for people of different backgrounds and dietary preferences. The event includes additional activities such as DJ performances and communal dining experiences. This follows a previous experiment during 'Veganuary,' where the stands offered plant-based alternatives, which proved successful and were extended beyond the initial planned period.

Mike Lanner, operator of two Wien Wurstelstands in Josefstadt and Döbling, is conducting another experiment by transforming his stands into fully halal options for four days starting October 23rd. This includes replacing pork sausages with lamb or beef-based alternatives such as Käsekrainer, Lammbosna, and a 'Barca-Dog' featuring Wagyu sausage. The initiative aims to explore whether Wurstelstands can serve as inclusive social spaces where everyone feels welcome, beyond their traditional role as romanticized eateries. Alongside the menu changes, cultural programming including music and discussions will take place to encourage longer stays and interaction among visitors. The success of this experiment will determine future halal offerings, while the vegan menu remains a permanent option.
