I will not comment on the sheep who appear to be engaged in an unspeakable
and possibly illegal act.

But the sitzbath sounds like a nice feature for weary bikers!

I do not share the QB's concerns about sushi in Austria. They probably spray
the fish with clorox and culture the meal every ten minutes to be sure there
are no stray bacteria. They are very fastidious.

The Austrians do a famous version of brisket that I remember fondly. I
think it is called tafelspitz or something spitz. Nearly fat free and
served in broth, it is almost Japanese. And it comes with horseradish. You
might consider abandoning your lacto-ovo-fisho vegetarianism long enough to
try it.
