After travelling 16,027km from Canberra to Prague, we are rather weary and jet lagged.
Oh wait...maybe that was the wine tasting our last night in Australia or National Tequila Day!
But here we are in the beautiful country of the Czech Republic.
Part of the former Czechoslovakia, and previously known as Bohemia, Czech Republic became it's own country when Czechoslovakia peacefully split in 1993.
Meat dishes play a large part in the Czech cuisine. Pork is common, as well as beef, chicken, and a lot of organ meats like liver, kidneys, brains, and also tongue. Fish is rare except for trout and carp which are served mainly at Christmas.
The first brewery is known to have existed in the 1100s and the Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption per capita in the world.
The famous Pilsener style beer originated in the western Bohemian city of Plzen.
I checked out our Bottle Shop, and we have two different types of Czech beer. I'm looking forward to having a little beer tasting. Oh dear...I see a theme happening here...
So on to goulash and dumplings, potatoes and mushrooms, and apple strudel...
