Czech Food - Main Courses (1 of 3)
 
blc
brc

 

Czech food is rich and heavy and has improved a lot since the days when I first arrived in the Czech Republic. Have a look at some of the tasty main courses which you may encounter on a visit to the Czech Republic.

 
Goulasch and dumplings. Perhaps the best known Czech food

Gulas se knedlykem. Goulasch with dumplings. Probably the most common dish in the Czech Republic. The sauce is wonderfully rich and good dumplings are slightly moist and can be used to soak up a lot of the sauce. The rings of raw onions are the token vegetable thrown in but you don't have to eat them. Expect to pay between £2.50 and £3.50.

Czech duck

I ate this wonderful piece of duck (kachna) together with red cabbage and dumplings on the 2nd of April 2007. It was the lunchtime special, 99 crowns - just over £2.

czech kiev
 A Czech chicken kiev with opekane brambory (roast potatoes). Notice the twist of orange on the greasy batter of the kiev.
wild boar steak
 Wild boar with red cabbage and mini dumplings. Very tasty though not common in cheaper restaurants.
svickova
 Svickova. A piece of beef in a creamy white sauce with four dumplings. If it weren't creamy enough there's a squidge of artificial cream. Some cranberry jam tops the cream.
