I wasn’t planning on eating a trdelník — also known an a chimney cake, or a chimney cone — here in Prague.  They’re available back home, plus it’s pretty clear that they’re more of a tourist thing than anything else.  You’ll have a hard time finding them outside of tourist hotspots.

I was trying to go to a bistro called Le Comptoir du Relais; it was completely full (it almost never occurs to me to make reservations, so this actually happens a lot).  They do, however, have a small take-out window with sandwiches and pastries.  I figured this was a pretty good opportunity to try a ham and butter sandwich, which is supposedly the second most popular sandwich in France.

(The first?  Burgers.  Everyone loves burgers.)
