    I lived in Vienna for my University, and would go to Prague for the Art-Glass, the Food (dumplings & Gravy), the great Beer (Pils), and the "Black Theater" (Magic Lantern shows). Milan Sladek was my favorite black-light Mime-Actor. He was very famous in the 1980s & 1990s.

    My family is Czech, and we lived in a Czech suburb just outside of Chicago growing up. My parents adopted my sister from Korea when she was a baby; she learned how to cook Czech food from my grandma, and loves it. One day she was walking into her apartment with bags of groceries, when her landlord, who was Czech, offered to help. She saw all the Czech food in the grocery bags and was like, "what the heck? You're Asian! Do you cook this?" - my sister explained things, and they had a great laugh together - and she gave my sister some of her family's recipes.

    I am from a Czech descent; my family came to America in the late 1800s. They were from a small village named Bozjov, about an hour south of Prague. I make the goulash. A lot of garlic, paprika and onions. Our biggest Czech meal handed down since my family got here is roast pork, sauerkraut, and potato dumplings. I do the dumplings every Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. My grandparents had fish sort of like the traditional carp, however striped bass is very common here, so they replaced it with that. My grandfather used to have fish boats, so it was easy to get. Now, it costs a fortune, so we don't do it as much. My grandmother used to make kolaches. I miss those days, but I have it in my Czech cookbook so it's coming up soon, lol....

      Very respectable that you are making traditional czech dishes as vepřo knedlo zelo (pork, kraut and dumpings) as its is called here and is still one of the most favourite dishes here, if you want to learn an another belowed dishes in our culture then look up for Svíčková s houskovými knedlíky (tenderloin/vegetable sauce with dumplings (not the potato ones but ones that are made from old pastry)) or řízek s bramborovým salátem (chicken steak with potato salad) bramborový salát is also typically served on christmas with carp. Also traditional christmas carp in Czechia is raysed in a way so it tastes best around christmas time so I do imagine that in other countries it can be hard to get a good one.

      I`m sure grandma`s "Koláče" smelled so delicious through the whole appartment on the baking tray while cooling off, right ? 😄 As a kid when I wanted to pick one from the baking tray
      my grandma always hushed me away with theese words: "počkej, počkej, bez práce žádne koláče" (wait, wait, no work, no pastry) 😳😆 Ooops.. 😳So I had to help her first with
      little things in the kitchen to got one or two when they cooled off. She also made buns (buchty) and sweet dumplings with different fruit fillings. 😋Popular filling für pastry, buns and
      sweet dumplings is also poppy-seed ( makové koláče, makové buchty, makové knedliky) If you add some pickled red cherries to it, it tastes fantastic. 😋😋😍 Try it. 😋

    My grandmother was from Prague, but I've never had any of these dishes. I feel so sad to not know this part of my culinary heritage. They migrated to America where they bought a cotton farm in a small town in Texas and pretty much made what the Earth provided for them. Her cuisine was mainly Southern U.S. cooking with a little Czech influence due to the spices and such, very country style fair. Atleast that's what I remember. One thing she always had on the table was cucumbers in vinegar. Not sure if that's Czech but it was a staple at her house. She also made the excellent chicken and dumplings, but her dumplings look nothing like the ones featured here. I'm going to start running through some recipes to introduce my family to this part of my heritage.

  • @mysakus
    @mysakus Рік тому +2

    well... as a all-life local I have some points to make: Bramborak is usually served plain or as a side dish or with smoked meat and sauerkraut (this option is called Cmunda po kaplicku and it is a Czech traditional). Bramborak served as it is shown on this video is a tourist trap or they just dont know what they are doing (same as "traditional Czech trdelnik, which is both not tradicitonal and not Czech). Getting back to opinions: anything served with "cabbage" in this video was actually served with "Sauerkraut". Strahov Beer Brewery is a tourist trap from my point of view! I am sorry to say that but it is. I have been there several times and there are almost no local people ever and the prices are... sky high. There are so many traditional Prague beer breweries much better than Strahov... most to point out is Brevnov as an example. Just dont go Strahov. Considering the "Traditional Pilsner Restaurant", it is too bad this video focused only to "old parts" of Prague formally, despite there are some places just behind the City Wall to enjoy and might be even cheaper and better, one example being Na Hradcanske restaurant which is actually just a jump away from Prague Castle (from the other side unfortunatelly - maybe) and during lunch times they have awesome meals as cheap as under 150 CZK

      As a Czech person, I can confirm that we make bramborák at home very often. It's one of our staples. I'm 38 and I've been loving bramborák my whole life. Nothing better than a steaming hot bramborák right from the pan with a glass of cold milk. I will never get tired of eating bramborák..... Btw, you can make it at home yourself. Peel some raw potatoes, grate them (it will be a great exercise for your muscles), add enough salt, remove excessive liquid that the grated potatoes will give off, add one raw egg, a little bit of flour, some pepper, dried majoram, two or three cloves of pressed garlic.... and that's pretty much it. They you just fry it in a larger pan. The difficult part is really just to grate the potatoes (about 5 large potatoes). The rest is quite easy.... Personally, I sometime also like to add grated zuccini and/or onion.... You can also add a bit of turmeric for nice golden colour. Try it, it's really not that difficult.... Bon appetit!

    • @RealPragueGuides

      Děkujeme. Už nás na to tady někdo upozornil. Pravdou je, že oblast jídla není naše specializace. Každopádně, jestli je to co říká Valerie chyba, tak to je chyba kterou jsme přečetli v jiných článcích. Když zadáte do googlu “Původ slova svíčková” a kliknete na wikipedii, tak tam to říká: Původně se pokrm jmenuje svíčková na smetaně podle masa - svíčkové - z kterého se měla v ideálním případě připravovat. Později se název zkrátil i na svíčková omáčka nebo jen svíčková.
      Původ názvu svíčková podle Ivy Pospíšilové není jasný, v Lidovkách.cz uvedla v roce 2014 tři možná vysvětlení: vizuální podobnost tenkého svalu se svící, množství loje v okolí tohoto svalu, či tradice hostiny pří svíčkách, kterou řezničtí mistři byli povinni jednou ročně vystrojovat tovaryšům.
      Zde se ten pojem svíčková omáčka objevuje a z článků, co jsme četli, jsme pochopili, že svíčková v hospodách se nedělá z doopravdické svíčkové. Tedy, protože odpověď online nebyla jednoznačná, vybrali jsme si jednu variantu. To jen pro vysvětlení, aby to nevypadalo, že jsme se vybodli na výzkum.

  • @Geker3
    @Geker3 2 роки тому +10

    One culinary inaccuracy: Svíčková does not come from the name of the sauce. Svíčková is Czech word for tenderlion. For those who don't know, this is a part of beef (or pork but in good Svíčková you have beef) whitch grows on cows back. It's very small (in comparation with other parts of cow) and as it's English name sugest it's the most tender kind of beef you can get. And yes, slice of it is the piece of meet in this dish.

      You see this is confusing for us. According to the research we've done, the origins of "svíčková" is not necessarily clear. Some people claim the name comes from the specific meat (like you are saying), some people claim it has something to do with candles, and some special celebration food or whatnot. Apparently the meat used in Svíčková is not actually Svíčková, but some cheaper meat nowadays. We found online that the sauce it's just sometimes called Svíčková omáčka.
      We are not culinary experts though 😂. We tried...

      @@RealPragueGuides Well since this particular sauce is used only in Svíčková I can not imagine giving it any other name. This with the market value of beef today (even more in past) and giving the fact that tenderlion is the best kind of it. I find more believable the dish (and than the sauce) was named afther the tenderlion but that is just my opinion.
      In general I would say this coversation is like an argument about what was first a chicken or an egg. :D

      Tenderloin, or fillet as we call it in Scotland, is the most tender cut of beef. It costs between £40-50 per kg (1200-1500 CzK) . I don't know how much it costs in Czechia but when you can buy svíčková in some Prague restaurants for around 150CzK I doubt very much that it is fillet, more probably rump or a similar cheaper cut. I've has some wonderful svíčková (Cafe Imperial) and truly awful (U Vejvodu).

      @@paisleybuddie5096 So in ordinary restaurants they use so-called fake beef tenderloin which is defacto beef shoulder (1kg = about 400kč/£13). In luxury restaurants they will probably use real beef tenderloin (1kg = about 900kč/£30). For people it is like this; if the sauce is cooked as a normal meal or as e.g. a Sunday lunch or for a normal family visit the shoulder is more likely to be used, whereas if it is for some important event such as a birthday or Easter lunch, real tenderloin is more likely to be used.

    All of the original Czech restaurants in Berwyn and Riverside IL, suburbs of Chicago, no longer serve Czech foods. 30 years ago, my grandmother and I ate at all of them, at least six. Southwest of Berwyn, McCook Bohemian still has a Czech recipe filled menu, however, not with the variety of dishes from this video. (Yes for Svickova and Roast Duck, and they have several Czech beers on tap.) Recently, a Czech restaurant in Downers Grove changed their name and menu to serve Lithuanian food. Such is the case with changing demographics.

    It would have been much easier if you have included each food option and each restaurant option as part of the blurb below the video. That way we could much more easily write down the spelling of the item or place. Trying to write down the food items or where you were was not fun or easy. Maybe have the food item text on the screen for more than half a second? Or keep the item or restaurant text on the screen while you talk about it. Anyhow, Can't wait to visit!

There are other channels where you can follow Ukrainian refugees and up to the minute news from Ukraine. If you watch all of the RPG videos from the beginning, you will not get the impression that Valerie or any of the other RPG's are Pro-Russian. In fact they have pointed out several times that many of the problems in Prague are a result of being part of the communist block.
