Traditional Czech food – beef with whippy cream

  1. We had this in Prague many years ago. Stumbled Into a what appeared to be a foodhall looking for something to eat whilst on a session.

    If I remember correctly, it was about £2, the bread was like a cross between clay and sourdough bread, it was bland but very filling and kept us going for the rest of the day. Highly recommended.

    Next day we had roast suckling pig at Prague Castle for about £7. That was the bomb!

  2. I hope this costs less than 4 euros.

    Edit: now I get it where the most salty butthurt incels from on this sub.

  3. Took me a second to find the beef and I was like “Is the economy so bad that they think bread is beef now?” 😀

  4. I totally forgot about those bread dumplings. We used to get them all the time, frozen, in Chicago. Haven’t had one in forever. I always liked how they were like a sauce sponge.

  5. This makes me realise I know nothing about eastern Europe food. Went to Croatia once and I ate pizzas and fast foods the whole week. You can be stupid when you’re young :/

  6. Goddamit Czechia (I saw the bread in the picture and I wanted to share my experience with the Czech cuisine).

    As a gluten intolerant Jew, I can’t eat neither pork nor bread. When I went to Prague in August I wanted to eat some local food. After rejecting 95% of the food for being literally just different pieces if pork, I finally found out about the Czech beef gulash… which is served… in a bowl of bread… (Also, no pilsen beer for me 🙁 )

    I loved Prague, but all I ate there was Asian and Italian food

  7. Just to clarify some misunderstandings about the cream:

    The whipped cream should be made just from heavy cream and nothing else (no sweetenings or flavourings).
    You are not really supposed to eat the whipped cream with meat. It should be mixed in the sauce. Many cooks don’t bother with whipping heavy cream and they just put it in the sauce during cooking.

    However I personally prefer the variant with the whipped cream. Many puréed dishes can be a bit boring because they are too homogeneous. This way you can make the sauce each time different and more enjoyable.
