Original Sacher-Torte, medium, in wooden box

The single most famous edible souvenir in Austria, and the genuine article only exists here — the wooden box survives any flight home.

Price: 92 EUR (shop.sacher.com online price for the medium torte in the wooden gift box incl. worldwide shipping; small €80, large €100 — counter price at the Vienna Confiserie is lower if you carry it home)

Where to buy: Sacher Confiserie next to Hotel Sacher (Philharmonikerstraße, Vienna) or Salzburg; online worldwide

• No fresh cream — apricot jam and chocolate glaze keep it shelf-stable ~2-3 weeks, so it flies fine; declare it as food at US customs
• The wooden box is built for transport: carry-on it, don't check it
• Only Hotel Sacher may sell the 'Original' — Demel sells the rival 'Demel's Sachertorte' from the famous court case; try both
• Food carries 10% VAT, so the refund on this is smaller than on crystal
