Tyrolean Gröstl

Description
Austrians also believe that a pig brings good luck. They even have a saying 'Schwein haben' (literally 'You have a pig'), which means 'You are lucky!'. In Austria, even strict vegetarians must eat a piece of pork on New Year's, which is why bakeries offer cookies and marzipan shaped like this piggy part. A special New Year's dish is prepared in Tyrol, known as 'cut soup,' which is not really a soup at all but rather a stew: pieces of pork, cheese, stale bread, fried onions, and everything is poured with broth. It is believed that the more ingredients in the dish, the better: the more abundance there will be in the new year.
