Adventures In Food: Czech Republic

{medovnik}

We had a few nights in Prague towards the end of our Eurotrip. The weather was chilly and we enjoyed slipping into a microbrewery or café for a respite from the weather. Here are a few of the Czech foods we enjoyed.

Medovnik is a Czech honey cake that is actually made by making a dough, rolling it into layers and then baking it, then alternating the layers with whipped cream. When I tried it, it was so light and fluffy I can't believe it is made from a dough!



{beer}

Czech beers are really famous and this is one of the few times I've really enjoyed the flavours in every sip.



{bramboračka}

Soup was the perfect way to stay warm and attempt to get some veggies. Bramboračka was a hearty spiced potato soup.



{smažený sýr}

Smažený sýr means heart attack on a plate fried cheese. I was really keen to try this but it was too heavy for me in the end. The cheese is usually served with tartar sauce so maybe it was the fries that tipped it over the edge.



{palačinka}

These crepe-y pancakes are seen all through Eastern Europe including in the Czech Republic. Mine was stuffed with ricotta, jam, raisins and walnuts, and then baked before serving with whipped cream.
