- Svíčková
It is most common dish in restaurants in Czech lands. There is not an universal recipe, because each family do it in a little different way, but it has still the same taste.
In it is sirloin with vegetable sauce (root vegetable such as carrot, parsley root, onion, etc. with cream and some flour).
It is served with houskové knedlíky (kind of dumpling), whipped cream and cranberry jam. Just melt in this taste!
- Vepřo knedlo zelo
Other favourite dish. As the name said it is pork with dumlpings and sauerkraut.

| The gravy is so tasty! |
- Smažený sýr or smažák
This is the rival of svíčková in restaurants. The name literally means fried cheese. It is slice of cheese (for example Eidam) breaded in eggs, flour, breadcrumbs (like schnitzel is covered). You can have smažák with boiled potatoes or chips.

- Bramboráky
or cmunda / vošouch (in Pilsen)
or strik / striky (in Czech Silesia)
Grated potatoes with some seasoning fried on oil. My mum adds marjoram in it. This meal is very tasty but be careful - it is so greasy! You can eat it as a main meal or as a side dish.
Good appetit!
