Bosna (dish)


Bosna is a spicy Austrian fast food dish, said to have originated in Salzburg. It is believed to have been invented in 1949 by a man named Zanko Todoroff. Some sources dispute this genesis and instead claim that the dish was created in Linz. It is now popular all over western Austria and southern Bavaria.
It resembles a hot dog, consisting mainly of a Bratwurst sausage, onions and a blend of mustard or tomato ketchup and curry powder. Bosna is made with white bread and is usually grilled briefly before serving.

Variations

Several variations of the dish exist:
  • Kleine Bosna, with only one sausage
  • Große Bosna, with two sausages
  • Kafka, with a different sausage type; generally a sausage with a different meat, more spice and cheese
