Czech food

The best part about visiting a country is trying out the local food. And it helps when you have friends to point you in the right direction.

Czech food is all about garlic soup, mushrooms, potatoes and meat.

Some sort of wafer which was delicious.

Hot cinnamon tea.

The famed garlic soup which is prepared in many different ways.

Meat and pancakes.

Mushrooms.

I loved this light honey cake.

Street food.

This looked delicious but you can give it a miss.
All flour with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon.

Irena's Garlic soup
3/4 liter of beef buillon or water
4-8 cloves of garlic
Cheese (edam, gouda, emmental)
2 potatoes
1 egg
Marjoram
Pinch of crushed caraway
Ham

Bring water or buillon to boil, add crushed garlic and cumin, small cubes of potatoes. Boil till potatoes are soft and add whipped egg. At the end add marjoram.

Put slices of ham and small cubes of cheese in a small bowl, pour soup on it and sprinkle with fried pieces of bread.

Irena's Czech potato pancakes

80 g flour
1 egg
150 ml warm milk

Peel and gently grate potatoes, let still for 3-5 minutes and then squeeze as much water as possible from potatoes. Pour milk on it and add the other ingredients. Pour in a pan and fry the pancakes.
