There are only 150,000 people who live in Salzburg. Yet every year more than 300,000 Sound of Music devotees will make a pilgrimage to the city. Sure they might be interested in seeing Mozart’s birthplace. Others might want to dine at arguably the oldest restaurant in Europe (circa 803), drink at the Stiegl brewery and wander by a blue river on a clear day. But really, most have come to enjoy tea with jam and bread, crisp apple strudel and schnitzel with noodles. Once you’ve sung do-re-mi enough and clamoured out of your carb hole, if you haven’t gone into complete sugar shock (from the food and the film), there’s always the option of Salzburger Nockerl for dessert. This local speciality involves berries (traditionally raspberries, but in deference to the von Trapps’ berry-picking escapades I’ve opted for blueberries) topped with buoyant clouds of souffléed meringue. The meringues are classically formed into three peaks to resemble the hills bordering the city. It’s a dessert best served warm with some custard on the side. And afterwards, there’s no need for you to climb every mountain, but a hike up at least one small hill will help slake some of the indulgence.
