 Langosh
When you walk along the Czech streets ( for example doing your shopping ) for a
long time, you can get hungry. If you are already full of American hamburgers,
chips and hot dogs or if you don't like it, the best meal which you can try is
Langosh. This is widely spread and popular meal in the Czech streets. You can
buy it for a few crowns at a kiosk. It is shaped like a circle and it has got
about 20 centimetres in a diameter. It is a cake made from raised dough fried in
a layer of oil. You can put either garlic, cheese and ketchup or jam and whipped
cream on it.
This meal comes from Hungary. I know, it might be bad for our health but it is
very very delicious. If you don't believe me, try it and you will be surprised.
Pastries

In spite of the fact you arent hungry, but you would like to eat something
small and tasty, you can go to the bakery. There are a lot of kinds of pastries
and every bakery has its own specialities.
Croissants made from crispy dough with jam, sweet curd or poppy seed filling are
very delicious. Favourite pastry from this kind of dough is strudel, which is
filled with mixture of apples, sugar and raisins. Almost in every bakery you can
buy doughnuts. They have jam or nugat inside and they are sprinkled with sugar
or poured with chocolate. Typical Czech pastry is a cookie. Bakers put plum jam,
marmelade, curd or poppy seed on it. There could be more kinds of fillings on

Salads
 |
At the snack bars or buffets you can buy a lot
of kinds of salads. You can choose between the vegetable and the dressing
salads. The vegetable salads arenīt very interesting because they are as
same as in other countries. Our typical salads are guite huge with a
dressing. They are comprised of mayonnaise, salt, sugar, pepper, vinegar and
pickles. Then you can add ingredients which are different for each type of
the salad. It could be salami, ham, cheese, boiled eggs and potatoes,
mustard, vinegary fish and various kinds of herbs. Preparing is very easy.
You must cut all big ingredients to small pieces, mix everything together
and season it according to your taste.
As the example I can enumerate the Italian salad where the main ingredients
potatoes and ham are, Picnic salad which is mainly made of pickles with
mayo, Rumcajs salad, Egg salad with ham, Potatoe salad that can also be a
side dish. All the salads are served cooled, they are often packed in
plastic pots with covers. Everything must be set in the strict hygienic
requirements. These salads arenīt very expensive, but they also arenīt
healthy. The mayo is fat and the additives are quite salty. Their taste is
specific and delicious. |
