No. Not my brother, Steve, but a wonderful, typically Prague/Bohemian plate that capped off our 24 hour awake journey from Philly to Prague. Delicious brown sauce with what they called cranberries, but I think they were lingonberries.
Another local tradition that surprised us a bit. The candle is beef tallow. As the flame moves down the wick it liquifies the fat, ready for your knife to pick it up and spread on delicious, hard-crusted rye with caraway seeds topped with the fried cracklings spread around the plate. Marsha and Arlene had delicious local Char on top of shredded celeriac salad (we think). But I digress….
Just Whetting your Appetite (unfortunately)
The real truth! The wickedly bad WiFi in Prague (especially in our hotel) and my new iPad settings are not allowing the photos we are taking be uploaded (a few exceptions above). We leave for Passau, Germany tomorrow to join our river boat on the Danube. There we hope the technical difficulties will get cleared up and get you back in the loop.
Hang in there…and do not get wildly boar-ed in the meantime.
The dual-purpose candle — how clever!!
Looking forward to reading the continuing tales…
