No updates in a while, because there wasn't too much going on.
I've tried kofola and cauliflower pancakes, as well as dumplings. It was good, but I'm not blown away.
The language course did an excursion to the national monument in Žižkov and the view from the roof was spectacular.
We visited the national technical museum, some bars and that's about it.

More Paprikahendl (a bit, anyway)...
@blyddyn asked this:
@petermorwood , a question for you. About a fortnight ago, I made a Gulyas and with it I served Huskovy Knedlik, thinking about it the Huskovy would go well with Paprikahendl. What are your thoughts on this?
Since that accompanied the reblog of a long-ish post, any reply other than something terse like "Sounds fine to me!" would have made it even longer.
Terse would of course answer the question nicely, but terse doesn't work very well with questions like that - at least not for me - so the fuller (as will be anyone who eats these goodies) reply is here:
*****
I'll be honest and admit I didn't know what Huskovy Knedlik were, until I looked them up and realised I do know them after all, by another name: Brotknödel (bread dumplings).
After learning that, IMO knedlik would go very well indeed with Paprikahendl, or indeed with any dish that has a rich gravy or sauce needing chased and mopped up to the last savoury drop. :->
By either name, they're a dumpling of flour, yeast, butter, eggs and milk made either round or in a fat sausage shape, poached in water or stock. The round ones are served whole, the long ones are sliced before serving.
On the right is a Czech huskový knedlík (Google translates it as "bun dumpling") while on the left is a German Böhmischer Serviettenknödel (Bohemian napkin dumpling).
Other versions use - indeed, ask for - yesterday's stale bread or rolls, cubed and fried golden then mixed with herbs, or bits of bacon, or chopped onion, and combined with the other dumpling ingredients before being wrapped to hold everything together during cooking.
This wrapper can be a piece of cloth, hence "napkin dumpling", though nowadays - as the photo shows - it's as likely to be cling-film.
The "clooty dumpling" of Discworld's Ankh-Morpork and the "clootie dumpling" of Thisworld's Scotland both get their names the same way - they're a cloth-y dumpling.
Simpler versions with fewer bits to fall off can be cooked without a wrapper, in a saucepan on the hob or, using a double-pan arrangement, water in a large pan and dumpling in a smaller then everything into the oven.
The slicing can be done with a knife, or with a piece of kitchen twine.
Here are a couple of English-language recipes. (One) (Two)
Ireland is currently sitting in the tag-end of another heatwave, but I can hear the initial rumbles and peas-on-the-roof rain of the thunderstorms that are supposed to end it, meaning autumn and hearty food is closer than it was last week.
So here's inspiration: Knedlik with goulash and raw onion garnish alongside Knödel with sauerbraten, capers (per @kommgehwech, they're raisins. Thanks!) and red cabbage.
Yum...

the characters are from all over the world. wouldn't it be awesome to meet them? to learn all about their culture from their POV
i want to have a chat with Alejandro and Rudy so bad! i want to taste their moms salsa!
i want to share my goulash recipe with König. bet he would know some food recipes from his mama and we could cook together and chat in domestic bliss
ghost would give an actual lecture about making proper tea
Horangi telling us about how to make the best tteokbokki
huh seems culture actually means food to me

I was pretty excited to be attempting my very first potato pancake challenge! With that being said, it was also happened to be the latest that I've ever attempted one too (10:50pm) which was not ideal, but I was going to let that deter me from taking on this challenge! If anything, I was more concerned about how flavor fatigue my affect my food-fighting abilities, given how much of an impact it made on my during my previous battle with the giant goulash challenge!

honestly i forgot that i'm a Picky Eater... after moving out and being in full control of my own dinners + rooming with someone with far more limiting food preferences + hanging out with majority vegan/vegetarian friends... it's like wow, my parents were wrong!! i'm not as picky as they think!!! it's super normal for everyone to have different food preferences and accomodate for each other!! but the moment i visit family again it's like AH NEVERMIND THERE IT IS
