Austrian food has a lot of common with German food, but is also influenced by Hungarian and Slav cooking, remnants of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
Traditional Austrian cooking is based around meat and potatoes, goulash, pastries, sausages, and dumpling after dumpling after dumpling, but in recent years there as also emerged a 'New Austrian' school of cooking which uses less salt and butter, and tries to create lighter, healthier organic dishes.
Austrians are generally very liberal and tolerant of other cultures, so there are only a few points to remember at mealtimes.

Austrian physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758–1828) speculated that different mental functions are located in specific parts of the brain, therefore becoming the first person to complete the theory of cerebral localization.
In his book The Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System in General and the Brain in Particular, a four-volume set published between 1810 and 1819, Gall set down the principles that focused on the contours and measurements of the human head as the basis of his doctrine on cranioscopy or phrenology.

As the crown remained in the hands of the house of Bragança, this was more the severance of the Portuguese empire in two, than an independence movement as seen elsewhere in the Americas.
The Brazilian Empire was theoretically a democracy in the British style, although in practice, the emperor-premier-parliament balance of power more closely resembled the autocratic Austrian Empire.
The Brazilian national football team has been victorious in the World Cup tournament a record five times and after the third time, Brazil kept the World Cup trophy permanently.

WENGEN, Switzerland (Reuters) - Austrian World Cup skier Rainer Schoenfelder put the warm weather conditions in Europe to a true test on Wednesday when he went on a naked ski run alongside the famed Lauberhorn downhill course.
