  • Remembered another one.

    Friend ask me and another friend, we cook on summer camp together, to cook lunch on his wedding.

    He wanted form us to cook meal A we tell him that we didn’t cook it so it will be shtshow, but we could cook meal B, C or D. This didn’t work so we cooked meal A and it was shtshow.

    It all started with “fully equipped professional kitchen” whitch wasn’t equipped at all (we were prepared for this). Than few other things go wrong. But the TIFU moment was soup - some miscommunication and bad decisions led to adding the noodles in it too early so you can imagine the porridge it become.

    I had a blast afterwards, and too much beer to forget this experience.

    My friend then said that it was exactly as he imagined it to be, because his now wife didn’t want another meal.








  • It would be some sort of tortillas and other types of flatbread.

    In theory it is simple just make dough and put it on the iron plates (directly on stove). In practice you stand 2 hours directly above hot wood stove and making 100 of them.

    Easy meals are necessary, you can’t make hard to cook meals every day. Only few times we decided to make our lives harder and make sth like tortillas.











  • Don’t take it as exact terminology but I call fermented juice cider if it is carbonated (and really don’t care about fruit except of grapes - then it is sparkling wine or champagne). If it has no carbonation then it is wine.

    Czechs have more words for differentiation:

    • Mošt - freshly pressed juice (from all fruits).

    *Burčák - partially fermented juice.

    *Cider - fully fermented carbonated drink. This word is imported.

    Some cider makers here makes mixes of fruits and still call it cider so it is little mess in terminology. For beer there is lots of specific terms in Czech I really can’t find translation.
