Eating habits within your family
Austria:
| In Austria the eating habits are very different from family to family. Some families emphasize eating together at least once a day, but some others in contrast don’t care about eating habits. | Almost every family in Austria eats together on festivities like Christmas and Birthday, then something special always is cooked (for example “Sachertorte” for birthday). | |
 |
On a normal morning Austrians eat alone or with some others from the family. They eat Toast with butter and ham or jam, cereals with cold milk or scrambled eggs. | |
| For lunch have spaghetti or other pasta, pizza, “Schnitzel”, chicken, vegetables, rice, potatoes, other meat or sometimes also sweet dishes. Often only the mother and the children eat together. |  |
|
 |
In the evening the most Austrians only eat cold meals like bread, ham, cheese and vegetables. Often everybody sits on his own in front of the TV, or the persons eat at different times, the dinner is not an important meal for the Austrians. |
