Local Foods

The local markets have great looking foods... some of which looks back at you....The Czech food does not get much play in the international cuisine circles which describe Czech food as heavy. The Czech's defend their food by saying it needs to be heavy to be filling because of the long cold winters. It may be heavy but it is tasty with roast pig, duck, goose, sausages, sauerkraut, breads and dumplings. The local guide books say there are only three local vegetables cabbage, the tomato and cucumber, however, i do not think any of those are the secret to their beer making ingredients so they must have a few more local substances that form part of a mixture... unless Budweiser beer is made from tomatoes, cucumber and sauerkraut... you beer drinkers let me know...
