"Sterz Hours - Culinary Journey in the Folklore Museum"

Prinzerlsterz? Brennsterz? Bohnensterz? With coffee, mushroom soup, or perhaps with buttermilk? As simple as the basic recipe may seem, there are so many different variations of it! In whatever form, you will definitely be satisfied. For a long time, Sterz was considered food for the poor, but today it enjoys great popularity in traditional-modern cuisine. During our tour of the museum, we will focus on the origins of this dish, find out how Sterz came to Styria, and what Archduke Johann had to do with it!

Starting with an extensive stay in the historical smoking room, where not only cooking and eating took place but also living, we will embark on our journey of discovery. This is a great opportunity to talk about food and drink, and you will also learn quite a bit about the historical rural everyday life in Styria. At the end of the tour, you will be welcomed at Gut Schloßberg with an interesting cooking demonstration of three Sterz variations.
