Svíčková na smetaně
Country: Czech Republic
What is it: "svíčková" literally means "sirloin", but it refers to this hearty meal of dumplings, beef sirloin, cranberry jam and creamy sauce.
Do I like it: It was the first proper czech meal I ate, and although it was very filling and heavy, it warmed the (very cold) body and it was quite nice.
Nakládaný hermelín
Country: Czech Republic
What is it: nakládaný hermelín; basically pickled Camembert cheese with pickled onion and various spicy hot chillis
Do I like it: mmmm.... Sort of.. Not really.. Chillis were a bit too spicy but the cheese tasted alright with bread :P
Gingerbread!
Country: Czech Republic
What is it: gingerbread bell
Do I like it: delicious!
We bought these gingerbread biscuits at a cute little local Christmas market in the local town. There were many other stalls with delicious and beautiful products, and we also bought some lovely baubles for the tree. It is not as strong as the gingerbread you get in Australia, and it has more of a soft texture; absolutely delicious!
Žemlovka
Country: Czech Republic
What is it: Žemlovka, kind of like apple pie-- but we had it for breakfast!
Do I like it: yes it was quite nice, but a little strange as an Aussie to have had it for breakfast!
Smarties- but the Czech version!
Actually, Richard will tell you that our 'Smarties' are a copy of Czech lentílky because the Czech lentílky were in fact produced first in 1907.
What is it: Lentílky, the Czech version of smarties
Country: Czech Republic
Do I like it: I love them, very yummy treat
