JOSEPH HAYDN | A HEADLESS VIENNESE
Joseph Haydn was probably the most headless Viennese of all time. No, the composing genius did not lose his head during his lifetime, but it did afterwards.

WIENER AUSTER | VERY DESIRED
The Viennese oyster is less a culinary delicacy than a popular position in sexual relations, which enjoyed great popularity in Vienna around 1840.
