Sweet Omelette Kaiserschmarrn, a truly unpronounceable name but, on the contrary, not really sweet but fantastic, especially to start the day with a rich breakfast. Its origins are Austrian, but it can also be found in Bavaria and Trentino Alto Adige. Literally from the German, Kaiser means emperor and Schmarr means mess, thus translated simply as emperor’s omelette. In Austria, it is the most widespread and well-known dessert, and it is the same in Trentino Alto Adige.
