Bosna is a spicy sausage sandwich commonly eaten in Austria, often with onions, mustard, and a blend of curry spices. It is made with bratwurst sausage and is a popular street food, especially for those out drinking. Austria is known for its sausages and desserts, such as strudel.
Bosna is both a type of sausage and a common street food sandwich that is eaten in Austria. Generally, bosna sandwiches include one or more spicy bratwurst sausage links in the bread which may be sliced or in the form of a cradle such as a large hot dog roll. While many variations exist, the traditional version of the sandwich is topped with onions, mustard and a sprinkle of spices, and may also have ketchup or grilled peppers. They are similar to a large hot dog, but are often eaten with two sausages inside the white bun, which is usually grilled with the sausages for a toasty finish.
The spices used on a bosna are usually a blend of curry spices called curry powder. Common spices used in curry powder mixes are many, but they include spices like cumin, tamarind, and turmeric. Some variations of the bosna also have paprika sprinkled over the curry. Many restaurants have special, secret spice blends that they claim make their bosna better or different than other bosna sandwiches.
Buying the right type of sausage for this sandwich is easy, as the types of bratwurst sausage used in a bosna are also called bosnas or bosnawurst. These sausages are made with both pork and veal, and the spice blend, while varied, tends to lean towards the citrus side. Common flavors in bosnawurst include lemon zest, marjoram and coriander.
A popular food for people who are out in bars, bosna is most often consumed by an inebriated person who has purchased the sandwich from a street vendor located near a bar. These vending machines may be in food serving trucks, but most often have food carts similar to those used by hot dog vendors. In fact, they often serve hot dogs as well. Some vendors sell these sandwiches from a display case or counter in a mall. These sandwiches are also often found at outdoor gatherings such as carnivals and street fairs, especially if alcoholic beverages are available.
