What Will We Eat Next?

Is everybody eating turkey for thanksgiving again this year? I wish I could talk Hubby into something different, like something international, or a different dish from a different country.

I told him that I had some ideas.

Our first full day in Prague, we stopped at Zlaty Strom restaurant. I had the Penne Pollo (chicken pasta) and a raspberry lemonade to drink.

 The food was good, but the atmosphere was the selling point. This is the ceiling!

Commonly made and sold by street vendors, these are called chimney cakes. I wish I had a picture of them being made into this shape, by spiraling dough around a stick before setting them on the rotisserie over the fire to cook. When they are done, they are filled with whipped crème or ice cream. We were disappointed in the one we tried, but perhaps we should have tried another one from some place else before we judge.

The day we went to Český Krumlov, we had lunch at the Travelers Hostel and Restaurant, as our tour guide had recommended it. I had the chicken breaded cutlet with mashed potatoes and Denise had chicken breast in mushroom sauce. Both were very good.

One of the couples from our tour ate with us also, and they had the grilled cheese and bread (which clearly was not a grilled cheese sandwich) and something else that I can’t remember at all. They also ordered two slices of honey spice bread which they shared with us, and it was delicious! Didn’t get a picture of that.

And believe it or not, I didn’t get a picture of all of our food. But I will keep showing you what I did get.

In Dresden, Germany, we wandered around the market for a while, trying to decide what to get. It was a no brainer all along, but we had to dwell on it anyway. It was indeed the best bratwurst I’ve had, and living in Wisconsin, I have eaten my share of brats.

Our last day in the Czech Republic, we were in Kutná Hora and found this literal hole in the wall to eat our lunch. Café Harmonia.

There were no other customers when we walked in. In fact, the lights were off in the dining room, but the lone server flipped them on for us and was extremely sweet. I believe this is the tortilla sandwich with ham and cheddar cheese. Oh, so very good! I’m just discovering now, that just like in the States, you can look up their menus on-line. Don’t know why I find that surprising.

But here is the truly surprising thing. When traveling to any foreign country, you need to be ready for whatever bathroom facilities are available, and trust me, I’ve used some pretty abysmal toilets. Oh, my goodness, but look at this one! I had to flush it three times to get the video. I left a hefty tip, to make up for my wastefulness.

Back at the hotel, for our farewell dinner that night, they served another filling and delicious meal. All and all, no complaints about any of the food.
