Šišky s mákem, you’re really going all in on the Czech experience haha! Knedlín is going on the list of places I need to visit when I next come to Prague, such a cool restaurant concept!
Thank you so much for bringing back my childhood memories. My nan would make sweet lunch for me every Friday after school. I guess I should remake these for my kids, they never had them as we live in Ireland and daddy is a meat eater 😊 also no wonder I was fat as a kid 😀
Your welcome! Believe me it was really hard to stop eating all the awesome sweets! 😂 I still find it so cool that you had sweet lunches and I was only allowed vegemite sandwiches after school 😂😂
@@LetsTravel-MF I guess I have never thought about it before as it was so normal for me. My Irish husband was very surprised too. But then again, he eats banana sandwiches and crisps for lunch 😀🙈
Ohhhhhhhh Wow, .... How could you do this to all us viewers?? Making us hungry, salivate, ache and lust for some delicious mouthwatering desserts !!!!!!!!! You are a bad, bad man.
Love your content! Food has always been my inspiration to travel and thanks to your video, I can’t wait to head back to this place. Love the dumpling desserts. Honestly they all look so good. Thanks for also including the locations and name of restaurants. 🥰
Omg I am so sad now haha. One weak ago we were in Prague and I was searching for those potato dumpling and the another one with the marmalade. I was really excited by the photos that I saw on google. But me and fiancé thought that it was a dessert. So I took care of my son and my fiancé asked where the desserts are. They showed him the place and it wasn’t there. I was really sad but we took another one that you got on 10:36. So we are planing to go Budapest in February. I found the Chanel. And now I found out it is a main dish ahhh I am so frustrated! So I think we have to make a stop in Prague when we go to Budapest 😂… Next time , in a similar situation I will show just a picture 😂!
I was lucky that my wife is Czech so she explained to me the whole main dish and dessert thing haha but definitely having photos help! I do the same sometimes when i'm travelling and can't find a certain food item. Enjoy your time in Budapest and Prague :)
Trdelnik is not really traditional Czech, but Hungarian, its name is KURTOS KALACS. I know this very well because I am half Czech, half Hungarian and I know the traditions on both sides.
Thank you for the information! It's very interesting that it comes from Hungary. As I mention at the start of the video it isn't traditional but its crazy how popular it is here! I would love to try it in Hungary myself. Do they put a lot of crazy toppings as well? Thanks again for the info! I hope to travel to Hungary next year :)
@@LetsTravel-MF It is so widespread because it belongs to the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, i.e from Romania (the region of Transylvania in fact, where kurtos kalacs has the "native" place and belongs to the population of Hungarian origin), in Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic to Austria. Indeed, even in Vienna there is such a thing, again very popular .... So the popularity remained between the old borders, this dessert having different name: "TRDELNIK" in Czech republic or Slovakia and KURTOS KALACS in Hungary and probably Austria (with the original name like in Romania). PS. No, in Hungary it is eaten only sprinkled with sugar and walnuts, exactly as it is original. And it is twice as big (longer, wider). The invention with "toppings" is more current, but in my opinion it spoils the taste.
I agree, it is not Czech, I grew up in 60tees and 70tees in CZ, but I don't remember "Trdelnik" at all. I was very surprised to see it when I returned . But then again, what do I know, I am from Brno .... :)))))
That’s a tallest větrník I’ve ever seen in Prague. And as a foreigner in Czech Republic, that’s one sweet I honestly hate. You should try Dort Miša sometime. Not massively traditional, but definitely noticeable
Míša is great! May i ask why do you hate větrník? Is it because its messy to eat? Btw my another favourite dessert is špička which is really thick chocolate cream in shape of tower wih chocolate topping filled with egg nog.
I don’t think necessarily these lists are tourist traps. They show what’s popular and fun which what people want when on a holiday. I think sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong but it's always good to do some research before deciding if it's worth your time.
Hi I'm sorry for some reason I didn't get notified about your reply. Personally I enjoyed more the other stuff! Had more depth and variety of flavour! 😀
My grandmother was babysitting me one day and my mother told her I came home for lunch, when I came home my grandma had a large fruit dumpling with plumb, topped with cottage cheese, then melted butter, and finally sprinkled with sugar. I was a little spoiled that day. I have my other grandmother's recipe which I will try soon. I was fortunate that both my grandmother's and my mother were excellent bakers and cooks. During WWII my mother and I lived with her parents and I only had to go upstairs for goodies, three things I remember clearly were homemade doughnuts, another when she turned over a pineapple up side down cake she had baked in a cast iron pan. Another time she called my brother and I upstairs and on our children's table in the kitchen was a birthday cake for George Washington and we sang happy birthday to him, now that I know more of my grandfathers family history perhaps it was because my 4th Great grandfather was in at least 2 battles with GW.
These small buns are served warm because it's main course for lunch and we get them in school canteens as well. It's not everyday meal but more likely a special ocassion lunch. However these sweet dishes are probably quite cheap to make and that's why they are so popular. Poppy seeds grow there even in wilderness and the rest of ingrediences are stale bread crumbs, flour, potatoes and so on. The custard used to be made from eggs but nowdays it's made out of potato or corn starch and it used to be sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar. It's definitevly more obtainable than meat. Potatoes and flour and legumes used to be pheasant foods. While meat was only once a week fare as Sunday lunch if you were lucky. If not potatoes and cottage cheese.
