Describe the Czech Cuisine.
-Czech cuisine has a huge emphasis on meat. Pork is quite common, and beef and chicken are also popular. Goose, duck, rabbit and wild game are served. Fish is rare, with the occasional exception of fresh trout, and carp, which is served at Christmas(Let's face it,the country is in the middle of the continent,so obviously sea creatures are gonna be scarce).Czech Cuisine has both influenced and been influenced by the cuisines of surrounding countries. Many of the fine cakes and pastries that are popular in eastern europe originated in the Czech lands.
What are some Czech festivals?
-41st Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.It's a film festival held annually in July in Carlsbad, Czech Republic. The Karlovy Vary Festival gained worldwide recognition over the past years and has become one of Europe's major film events.
What are some Czech folktales?
The key of gold by Josef Baudis.Not your common fairy tales, this collection is a mixture of morals, quirkiness, and sarcasm. In it one finds ironic derivatives (if not roots) of well known fairy tales such as “The Brave Little Taylor” and “Beauty and the Beast,” as well as some more unusual settings to impart the popular fairy tale themes of justice and happily ever after. Most stories are told with wry humor and often shocking irreverence for the expected fairy tale turn out. This is NOT a book for children, but one for adults who love fairy tales, and enjoy making fun of them.
Cheers :)
