    Czechoslovak here. The dumplings are called knedle (I'm spelling this phonetically in English) and they're like a steamed bread, perfect for mopping up sauce. If you are in the Czech republic or Slovakia in the future make sure to try Yalita, Yrtiniza (pork sausages), halushki (kind of like spaetzle), and kapusta (sauerkraut with caraway seeds and bacon.)
    *all spelling is the best I can do to make this readable in English and get the right general pronunciation.
    If you ever want to chat about Czechoslovak food give me a shout on fb. Love your channel!

    Also, those fruit dumplings you need to eat with sugar and sour cream and bread crumbs. That's the way we eat them in Balkans. The filling is extra sour and the outside doesn't have much taste, so you really need sugar and that sour cream + bread crumbs for crunch (fried bread crumbs). If you tried them that way, instead of eating them plain only with sour cream, you'd probably love them too! (But to be honest, fruit dumplings are something what is the best when made at home, it's for sure not a dish to eat in a restaurant. Grandmas and moms know the best).
