Czech Dishes & Names: This should help you to understand the menus more and also give you some ideas about your focus.
Czech ‘Buchty’ – [bookhteeh] A typical yeast dough sweet cakes – filled with sweet jam/marmelade. Challenge: how many different fillings will you sample during your trip? Home made and shop bought are judged/counted separately My favourite: cherries & cottage cheese [a bit like baked cheesecake inside!!!]
Czech doughnuts freshly baked are the best thing in the world with a cup of coffee for breakfast or afternoon: Kobliha – [koh-blee-hah] My favourite: apricot jam filling We do not do custard and we do not do ring doughnut; traditional ones are always with marmelade
The most typical Czech national dish: Knedlo-vepro-zelo [Knadloh-veproh-zaloh] Dumpling-pork-cabbage Saurkraut to you – boiled cabbage. Every ‘hospoda’ will sell this: hearty lunch to fill you up.
Every family has their own recipe and ingredients that will make the sauce just that good. You will never have the same one twice. Svickova – [sweech-kovah] Second traditional national dish: Stewed beef in creamy sauce with dumplings; often served with cranberry sauce Dumplings: there are always two types: Bramboroveknedliky – potato dumplings Houskoveknedliky – roll dumplings [using bread/rolls up – a more economical to make]
Řizek – [rzhee-zek] Shnitzel Another traditional fare: pork or chicken slice of meat wrapped in flour/egg/breadcrumbs Pork shnitzel – veprovyrizek Chicken shnitzel – kurecirizek
Vegetarian option: Fried cheese – similar to a shnitzel: Cheese wrapped in flour/egg/breadcrumbs Cheese used: Hermelin – Czech brie version Gouda – mild Dutch cheese Easy to eat and often with chips Pizza is available everywhere and very reasonable. Pizza place is called: pizzeria
I dare you to eat: Cesnecka [ches-nech-kah ] Garlic Soup – cheap fare and really good to pick you up: simple stock with croutons, sometimes potatoes or eggs, lots of garlic and marjoram to give you heat. Yes, the Czech eat a lot of garlic and onion any time of the day! It is good for you!
Polevka – [poleev-kah] Even though is a hot day, typically at lunch time people would have a two course meal, starting with a soup. Goulash soup – Gulasovapolevka, otherwise ‘gulasovka’ is typical – [goo-lah-shovkah] Lots of people have their own recipe. You will never have the same one. This one would be with beef.
As I said: ovocneknedliky [o-voh-tsneh Kned-leekih] Fruit dumplings For lunch or dinner. If they are from raised dough – kynute [kih-nooh-the] then they are the big ones. Melted butter on top. Typical filling: plum, Then strawberry, Then blueberries or apricot – depending what fruit is in season. Again: cottage cheese on top or cream – terribly bad but terribly delicious! Home-made are the best of course!
