After 3 hours and 53 minutes in Vienna, I ate my first slice of Topfen Strudel. I had wanted to last at least 3 or 4 days without succumbing to the particular lure of a particularly good Topfen Strudel. I had also discovered a new cafe. Cafe Eiles, at Josefstadter Strasse 2, an old and traditional Viennese cafe. And it was there that I spotted the Topfen Strudel.
The cheesecake that is the filling in a Topfen Strudel was delicious. It was very light, with a hint of lemon and not overly-sweet. I let myself indulge in the fantasy that anything this light could not possibly contain much butter or sugar or a fatty creamy cheese. But I have the sinking feeling that butter, sugar and a rich, creamy cheese might be essential ingredients in every Topfen Strudel.
Anyway, you know you’re in trouble when you find Topfen Strudel crumbs on the pages of your itinerary.

I leave for Vienna today and the premiere of Chuzpe starring Otto Schenk as Edek Rothwax. This will be the first time I’ve seen my characters on a stage and I am very excited. My 96 year old father, thought he could play Edek Rothwax, but I think Otto Schenk is going to be perfect.
