Speaking to Wien Heute at the weekend, Felber bakery manager Doris Felber said: “We all want to be vaccinated. We're all waiting for it, and in the meantime we thought, an injection of a bit of alcohol, that will make waiting nicer. And we got a few more syringes that we filled with eggnog."
Faschingskrapfen or carnival doughnuts are a traditional treat in Austria and it's been estimated that Austrians consume an amazing 100 million of them per year.
Traditionally Krapfen are sold between December 31st and Ash Wednesday. Felber's Bürgermeister Krapfen have proved popular this year, and have sold out every day.
But the rule is first come, first served. Queue jumping is not allowed, regardless of your electoral status.
