Eating
Traditional Czech cuisine is a cardiologist's nightmare, a
cholesterol-laden menu of meat accompanied by high-calorie
dumplings washed down with copious quantities of beer. When it
comes to food, the ultimate Czech put-down is to describe it as
nesláný or nemaslý ('not salty' or 'not fatty'). But if you put aside
your notions of healthy eating for a few days, you'll find tradition-
al Czech food to be very tasty.
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
A typical Czech breakfast
(snídaně)
is a light affair consisting of
chléb
(bread) or
rohlík
(bread roll) with butter, cheese, jam or yoghurt, washed down with tea or coffee.
A hotel breakfast buffet will normally also include cereals, eggs, ham or sausage. Some
Czechs eat breakfast at self-service
bufety
, which are open between 6am and 8am -
these serve up soup or hot dogs, which are washed down with coffee or even beer.
Some eateries serve Western-style breakfasts.
