Czech cuisine; now there's one for a gourmet to sort out. Can you
really describe Czech food as cuisine? After all it makes it sound
all arty farty and like nouvel cuisine and French.
Czech food is far from that, to begin with you certainly get more
than half a potato and a sliver of meat covered in a drip of sauce.
Czech food is "full on" it's a mans food, designed to fill
you up and ensure that you are "stuffed" (technical term
for extremely full), it is also designed to ensure that others are
also aware of the fact as it makes you "fart" (technical
term for pass wind). Czech food is rich and wholesome, generally made
with plenty of garlic and little care for being nasally offensive.
A typical Czech meal consists of meat and 1 or perhaps 2 types of
side dish.
The general Czech diet is quite limited or so it appears, pork or
chicken served with either potato pancakes or dumplings with cabbage
or some other horrible green veg, although one has to admit that it
is all very scrummy and I don't mind if I do have another portion
thanks.
To compliment this Czechs usually drink copious amounts of beer and
as such have some of the finest in the world, including the original
Budweiser and Pilsner Urquell. The meal is generally rounded off with
spirits, Czech beer may be good but their spirits tend to be quite
offensive. Out of the few spirits they produce there are only one
or two that I can seriously say are nice or OK; Absinth and Becherovka,
the former was or still is band in many parts of the world as it stands
at 70% alcohol and the latter tastes like medicine but is quite nice
if frozen.
These central Europeans types also have a fine habit of eating really
smelly cheese and excellent salami, the Jidelna (Czech fast food diner)
, deli's and supermarkets are full of the most amazing and tantalizing
choice's; fat, thin, long, short, hard and soft (enough choice for
any girl). However you eat yours you won't be disappointed unless
you don't like salami and cheese then you will go very hungry.
Unless of course you eat cakes and gateau, the choice can also be
quite startling and fattening and every normal human beings dream
come true.
Infact it's all so good I left the UK for it and unfortunately I have
become very smelly, fat and inebriated in the process. |
