• Although Czech cuisine is not exactly a synonym

for healthy cooking, everybody will probably find

at least a couple of meals "to die for". It may be
the potato soup, the traditional roast pork with
dumplings and sauerkraut, the fruit filled
dumplings, or the apple strudel.
• Czech cooking and eating habits have been
shifting in the general direction of a healthier
lifestyle, but traditional Czech recipes are still
extremely popular - and those tend to be high in
calories, fat and sugar. Sauces and condiments
are popular.
• A Czech meal often starts with soup. Some
popular Czech soups are:
• - potato soup
- garlic soup
- chicken noodle soup
- beef soup with liver dumplings
- sauerkraut soup
- dill soup, made from sour milk
• The most common Czech side dishes are:
• - boiled potatoes
- roasted potatoes
- mashed potatoes
- French fries
- rice
- bread dumplings or potato dumplings with
sauce
- bread or potato dumplings with sauerkraut
- potato salad
Desserts come in many varieties and tend to
be heavy and fatty because butter and
whipped cream are often used. Some popular
desserts are:
• - pancakes filled with jam or strawberries
- and whipped cream
- honey cake called Medovník
- blueberry dumplings
- apple strudel
- ice cream sundae
• Czech Republic is the only one all over the world
where beer is cheeper than water in the pubs
• Czechs drink a lot of beer (on average 160 liters
for one person)
• If you're not in the mood for beer, you can have
mineral water, orange juice, coca-cola and other
commercial drinks or a soda (specify its name
because soda in Czech means "soda water").
Czechs also like to drink tea with sugar and
lemon, and coffee with or without milk or cream.
