=Strudel=

June 17th is National Apple Strudel day. Crazy right? The Strudel is most commonly known as a delicious dessert. Many of the different kinds of strudels include the Apple Strudel, the Apricot Strudel, and the Cherry Strudel. You may have tried one of these sweet filled pastries before. Other strudel pastries may contain meat in the middle as a filling. The Apple strudel is known as the national dish of Austria along with Wiener schnitzel and Tafelspitz. The history of the strudel goes all the way back into the late 17 century in an old Viennese library, stating how to make a Turnip Strudel. The name "strudel" means "whirlpool" and "eddy" in German language because the inside of the rolled strudel looks like a whirlpool. This pasty is made by placing cheese, meat or fruit in a very thin sheet of dough, than rolled up and baked. The Strudel can then be served with toppings such as vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and custard.
