@toruvalejo6152 Год назад

If John had not been martyred, he probably would never have become a saint... But to shed some light on this - Charles IV could not have been thrown over Charles Bridge, because he founded the bridge in 1357 and at the time of his death (1378) only some of the piers of the bridge were built - it was not completed and opened until 1402. So even with St. John of Nepomuk it was quite a chase because he was killed in 1398 - but by then most of the bridge was already finished... And by the way - he was tortured at the behest of Charles' son King Wenceslas IV, but not because to force him to divulge the confessional secrets of the King's wife (as the Church subsequently invented), but because the King had a dispute with the Archbishop and John was the Archbishop's confidant. John was canonized quite late (in 1715) because the Catholic Church was trying to suppress Protestantism in the Bohemian lands and so every prelate killed was fit to be a saint...

I went back to Prague in 2017 having lived there for 3 years from 2003 to 2006, and the trdelník was a complete novelty to me. I kept asking myself if I was suffering from amnesia because I had no memory of it. I was very confused at how they were calling it an old Prague speciality when I had never seen it before. I actually tried one for the complete novelty of it, & it was like eating sugar-encrusted cardboard.

@terentule Год назад

I'd say that's roughly when they started to emerge, around 2003-2006. At least from what I remember. Me and my friends would sometimes get them and I thought they were delicious, but they were much more simple, just the leavened dough, when still hot, put into cinnamon sugar. They were made fresh. Now it seems they often either sit there or are not baked enough, but idk, didn't eat one in couple years here in Prague :)

@24wallachian 9 месяцев назад

I'm a Czech woman and I remember EXACTLY when the trdelník all of a sudden appeared in Czech Republic. I was still at High school (so about 20 years ago) and in summer I was searching for a job to make some extra money. The job I found was to sell this total novelty called 'trdelnik' at different spots in my little hometown in the east of Czech Republic... I remember these trdelníks tasting like heaven. Then many years later I bought one of those in Prague and was totally disappointed by the taste. It was NOTHING like the trdelniky I was selling 20 years ago.... It's definitely better to opt for the true Czech dessert, which are all these koláce, or laskonky, or marokánky or vetrniky or indiánky. They are so delicious and 100% Czech. HONEST GUIDE also made a video about those.

The picture at 9:28 is clearly a Nutria, by the thick white "beard" hairs and the teeth. Muskrats (the name presumably originally derived either from an Algonquian word for "it is red" or the Abenaki word mòskwas and no rat at all) are also a bit smaller, have a smaller snout, and their tail looks rather oval. Nutrias come originally from South America, but were introduced to Europe by fur farms (where they sometimes escaped), starting in France and Germany. Muskrats (also called Bisam in some countries) are originally from North America; in 1905 Prince Joseph Colloredo-Mansfeld released some near Stará Huť in Czechia. In 1929 some hundreds were released in northern Russia and Sibiria; in 1930 about 500 escaped from a breeding facility in France.

You guys are not wrong about calling those animal "nutria". But neither are tourists calling them "beavers". Actually, the scientific classification of those animals is Myocastor coypus, which means that they are really closer to beavers and rodents in general (the word Myocastor means "mouse beaver".) Those animals are originally from South America and, apparently, Spanish conquerors just wrongly referred to them as "nutria" based on similarities in behavior to otters (otter in Spanish is "nutria"). Therefore, we just learnt different names for the same type of animal! (Who the hell brought nutrias / beavers to Prague!?) Cheers!

@slavkakaterinastastna9532 Год назад

If I remember correctly it have something to do with wild and confusing '90s (era of biggest scams, most common bribing in government & healthcare, times of well-known oligarchs/mafians, biggest chaos in everything caused by constant changes in every aspect from lifestyle to law and government system). There were fur farms where nutrias (and other fur animals) originally lived, but then our country changed laws (about lowering or ending dotations for big fur farms - l was child so I don't exactly know and internet doesn't help). But one thing I know for sure that owners of fur farms got "awesome" idea - why spend money to get ridden of their fur animals when they can secretly let that unwanted animals "run away" to wilderness. These people got away with it or they paid only low fine. By the way, even before that change of law there were small population of nutrias in wilderness (since '60s-'70s) but nobody cared about it. These first nutrias probably escaped accidentally without help of humans.

I was wondering where it was going, if you just wanted people to start calling the island Shark Island instead or just wanted people to start saying that it's surrounded by sharks and trying to spot sharks, but then the sponsor came through. Well done sir!

usually misinformation is unintentional, so getting to get the real information is what everyone should strive for, especially these travel vloggers.

I have no idea about the traditionality of the honey cake, but I see it as a “traditional” Czech cake and one of the things to eat as a tourist. Just like in England you’d want to eat carrot cake, cheesecake or Victoria sponge. But I will say that it’s hard to find the right way of it in cafes, it’s so easy to have it too dried and it spoils your experience. Also cafes are way too expensive, so when I’m in Prague and feeling like Medovnik, I buy it in a supermarket, either the whole thing or boxed up slice. Still cheaper than in a cafe and because it is wrapped, it will not be dry and hard.

@wernerleinberger9847 Год назад

Yes but it is not a czech cake. Try original kolac buchtle or chlebicek in Café.

@ChicaTiquita Год назад

Trdelník apparently is traditionally from Slovakia and related to Kürtőskalács or German Baumstriezel.

@sundaesmile Год назад

Janek, I swear I first heard of medovník from an Honest Guide video about actual Czech desserts to get instead of trdelník. For shame! 😉

Cracking up here about nutria; we have a LOT of them along the Gulf of Mexico Coast in the Southeastern United States (Texas to Florida). In fact, we have nutria rodeos because they are such an invasive species. The pelts are commonly used. Every day on my commute, I pass quite a few who didn't make it across the road and have had to dodge them myself before.

@carlin3297 Год назад

The dutch name for a nutria is beverrat (beaver rat). so they aren't 100% wrong in calling them beavers but more like 99% wrong.

The coolest Starbucks I have seen is in Varna, Bulgaria on the Black Sea. When you enter the front door, you can look down through a glass section and see old Roman ruins that were found under the street.

Prague is a beautiful city and I loved my short time there, if I had anything to suggest it would be to just walk around and look at things. Try new stuff. I found some awesome cafes by just walking around. Walked around some nice little neighbourhoods and cute little parks and things just by going in a random direction and walking for a while. Great city, I want to go back there.

@jamespppyacek342 5 месяцев назад

I was there three months ago. I'm going back too. My dad's parents were Moravian.

@unperdants Год назад

We would call Nutrias "Coypu" and it seems they are causing a problem in Prague and shouldn't be fed if possible. Oh, and "laughable" might not be the meaning you were looking for. In the UK this would indicate that you more or less have contempt for the thing, whereas I think you probably meant "made us laugh" - quite different! Love your videos by the way and thank you!

A nutria is called beverrat in Dutch, which doesn't really need a translation. An actual beaver is bigger, more shy and has a very broad flat tail.

Thanks! We gonna visit Prague in one month!

Wikipedia says: A nutria is often mistaken for a muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), another widely dispersed, semiaquatic rodent that occupies the same wetland habitats. The muskrat, however, is smaller and more tolerant of cold climates, and has a laterally flattened tail it uses to assist in swimming, whereas the tail of a nutria is round. It can also be mistaken for a small beaver, as beavers and nutria have very similar anatomies and habitats. However, beavers' tails are flat and paddle-like, as opposed to the round tails of nutria.
