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 separatelyMy 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 fillingWe 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.
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:Bramborove knedliky – potato dumplingsHouskove knedliky – roll dumplings [using bread/rolls up – a more economical to make]
Every family has their own recipe and ingredients that will make the sauce just that good. You will never have the same one twice.
Řizek – [rzhee-zek]Shnitzel Another traditional fare: pork or chicken slice of meat wrapped in flour/egg/breadcrumbs
Pork shnitzel – veprovy rizek
Chicken shnitzel – kureci rizek
Vegetarian option:Fried cheese – similar to a shnitzel: Cheese wrapped in flour/egg/breadcrumbs
Cheese used:Hermelin – Czech brie versionGouda – mild Dutch cheeseEasy 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 – Gulasova polevka, 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: ovocne knedliky [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!
