Gulas (Bratislava, Slovak)

What is it? Gulas - goulash. Beef soup seasoned with paprika.

Where to find it? Hlavné Námestie (Main Square) Christmas market in Bratislava, Slovak

Thoughts... Flavorful broth with chunks of meat. This version of gulas wasn't as hearty as I thought it would be.

Loksa (Bratislava, Slovak)

What is it? Loksa - potato pancake stuffed with savory or sweet fillings.

Where to find it? Hlavné Námestie (Main Square) Christmas market in Bratislava, Slovak.

Thoughts... Similar to a crepe. When offered a sweet or salty loksa, I made the mistake of ordering a salty loksa which turned out to be filled with pate (goose liver) and I'm not a fan of pate. Apparently another savory filling option is goose fat.

Where is it? Ciganska Pecienka - chicken/beef sandwich served with mustard and sauteed onions.

Where to find it? Hlavné Námestie (Main Square) Christmas market in Bratislava, Slovak.

Where to find it? Hlavné Námestie (Main Square) Christmas market in Bratislava, Slovak.

Thoughts... The punc is sweeter and fruitier than mulled wine and the mead was good.

Horalske Trubicky (Czech)

What is it? Horalske trubicky - chocolate filled wafer straws.

Thoughts... I'm not quite sure why there's a squirrel on the package. The wafer reminded me of communion wafers and the chocolate was just ok.

Vlnky candy bar (Czech)

What is it? Vlnky - white chocolate filled wafer rows.

Where to find it? Czech Republic

Thoughts... A pretty simple candy bar - white chocolate and wafer - can't go wrong.

Smazeny Syr (Prague, Czech)

What is it? Smazeny Syr - fried cheese. The sandwich version of this dish is served with tartar sauce on a bun.

Where to find it? Outdoor food stand in Prague, Czech.

Thoughts... The taste and texture is like mozzerella sticks. Best eaten while still hot as the cheese gets chewy as it cools. Definitely not a healthy meal, I could feel my arteries clogging as I was eating.
