After having a decent but fairly underwhelming sausage at Václavsky Gril, I had unfinished business. Surely I could find a great quality sausage in Prague.
Occasionally, you’ll hear about a dish that you immediately need to try. I recently learned that pickled cheese is a thing that exists in Czech pubs, and of course, my interest was piqued.
Okay fine, it was more than piqued. Pickled cheese?? I needed to try it immediately.
Apparently the area around Wenceslas Square — one of the main city squares in Prague — used to be crammed with street vendors selling Czech sausages. But the neighbouring restaurants were unhappy about the stands cutting into their profits, and the city elected to remove most of them.
You can’t go wrong with fried cheese. There’s something about the gooey/crispy contrast that’s always going to be satisfying.
Though I’ve been on a number of brewery tours since starting this blog, the one at the Cantillon Brewery might have been my favourite.
