Dumplings-don't freak out

I really did eat the plates of food in last 2 photos featured here while I was in Europe.

That's why it is important for me to have an "active" vacation, cycling, walking tons or in winter, snowshoeing.

And Czech cuisine didn't offer much veggie. Not even spargel (white asparagus). Shockingly in some places, there was boiled, over-salted spinach on the side. Just to me, strange: spinach just needs to be lightly sauteed. Never boiled to death.

What we did eat for veggie dishes was not Czech. More Italian: Mozarella bococini with fresh tomato slices and basil in abit of olive oil dressing.

Mmmmmmmm dumplings

I miss eating those dumplings. My mother used to make goulasch with dumplings, and my all-time favourite was dumplings with plum inside. We'd put bread crumbs and whipped cream over them. She'd make the dumplings out of cottage cheese *drool*

Yea, I loved our tour in the Czech Republic, but the food was terrible. We made up for it in Austria.

Ha, we ate terrible in Austria too, except for the macrobiotic place on the ring in Vienna.

So far in our travels nothing holds a candle to Emilia-Romagna, although we ate pretty well in Trento and Trieste as well.


I love gnocchi.... and the strozzapreti dumplings are just to die for.
