Actually, halušky are Slovak national food which was domesticated approx. 100 years ago in Czechia. Czechs usually don´t eat fried chease as a sandwich but with potatoes. If you really want it as a sandwich, you should visit Czech McDonalds - there it is usually part of restaurant menu. And you must eat it in a bun with a Tartar sauce, not between two slices of bread with nothing :)

Trdelnik isn’t Czech.. it’s a huge tourist trap. No locals eat it. Also the Old Prague Ham at the old town avoid it at all costs, extremely over priced.

Trdelník was definately invented here in Czech Republic, its really Hungarian and Romanian tradition which was imported here let´s say 25 years ago and its mostly for tourists. Czech grannys are not baking that at home. ;)

This city looks stunning! It's definitely on my bucket list!☺️

Indeed as mentioned in some comments not all of it is really traditional Czech. Avoid the ham and trdelník (I forbid my family to eat it in Prague, but in Budapest was fine), but go for the párek v rohlíku (hotdog) or places where you can find the traditional chlebíček (sandwiches). If you want real traditional Czech food very affordable and like my mom and grandma made it, go to Havelské Koruna. It is our standard place to eat when in the city centre. They have an incredible amount of dishes.

It's strange how the Trdelnik has become so ubiquitous over the last decade or two. I admit, I have tried it and it is tasty. I prefer it just plain, I mean without the ice cream or nutella. My daughter works in a stand during the holidays. Having said that, there are so many pastries and cakes that ARE Czech and are just as tasty or tastier. My favorite is the "vetrnik", because I just love caramel. But kolac (or the Moravian Frgal if you can get it), fruit dumplings. Those are Czech and blow the Trdelnik out of the water. And Strudl? I know even the name is German, but you can tell the Czechs have embraced it because it has been made with love by generations of grandmothers. As for the fried cheese in a bun, I have had that too on Wenceslaus Square, but it has kind of disappeared over the years. Sid is right, in the bun with the tartar sauce it just tastes different than on a plat with potatoes, and I could go for one right now! The best fried cheese in the known universe, however, is in a pub in Vitkovice in the Krkonose mountains...

Halušky are basically potato gnocchi with less care about the shape. I have seen probably store-bought gnocchi prepared with cabbage and smoked meat in restaurants and they just say it is halušky.

Nice review. Thank you for being a polite and nice visitors. Not very usual these days. Happy to see you liked our Capital.

I'm from Wisconsin, in USA. Wisconsin is the dairy state. Fried cheese is a common things here! Come to Wisconsin!

With the greatest respect sir, saying that Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen and Stella Artois have similar taste is something like if you said that Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Dacia are similar types of car. ;)

I lived in Prague in 2007 to 2009 and I didn't see any Trdelník stand at the time and I was strolling around regularly. Surely, somewhere there were but I didn't see them, definitely not on most tourist places like Wenceslaus Square or Oldtown Square. Sausages stands, hamburgers/párek v rohlíku stands and ice-cream stands sure, there were all over the place. Nowhere a trdelník, tho. Maybe on Christmas markets but not in the summer. One year later in 2010, when I moved out of Prague, I met some people who still lived in Prague and they talk about this "Trdelník infestation" and how almost every stand now doing that and how it selling as "Traditional" and "Old Czech". We thought it gonna blow over like so many similar things. But surprisingly it didn't and today it is kind of unwanted staple of Prague Tourism. You probably now can also say that it is truly traditional... but the tradition is no longer than 13 years. The problem we have with it is that it is extremely cheap to make... yet they are very expensive. You probably paid like 20x more than it really costs (including all fees that the owner of the stand has to pay). If you wanna try some really traditional dessert next time in Prague, try to look for "Kremrole" in sweetshops (cukrárna). They look similar to trdelník but are much better and will definitely cost you less ;)

I am not surprised you couldn´t find fried cheese sandwich in Prague, because its not very common to eat it as sandwich here. We eat fried cheese with potatos, or fries and tartar sauce. ;)

Cool video how much were the hotdogs

Those "turtlenecks" 😂 look soooo much better than chimney cakes! Sorry Sidney didn't find her favorite post-bar food from the study abroad days 😞

Trdelnik orginates in Hungary and Transylvania (Romania) - it is called there kurtoskalacs

I’m sure You wouldn’t wanna miss on something in performance in the national opera building.

there is not any rivarly :D iam czech and i probably dont know a person that would take staropramen over pilsner :D

The best "hot dogs" in Prague are at a stand on Náměstí Míru.

love the video but you could say the prices next time!!

Its weeir dthat you couldnt find fried cheese sandwich. Its maybe called better as Fried cheese in bun, bcs its basically burger but you have fried cheese except meat. Thats main difference. :D

7:06 Please don't read it in English. The J has a different pronunciation here than in English. Oh, and I've never seen fried cheese eaten like this before :P. This is news to me. :) Maybe they sometimes serve it with bread, but I don't remember ever eating it myself, or seeing someone eat it, other than with either potatoes or fries. And tartar sauce, of course.

You guys are a really cute couple

Tourist-selfie?

OMG, that ham and trdeliník are such tourist traps. Both so much overpriced, the ham especially. Trdelnik is not a Czech food, despite to whatever the stand sellers say, it is from Slovakia, invented by some Magyar.

Dont eat in the Old Prague Ham market - way too overpriced, for that price you can get much much better authentic czech food. And btw there is nothing like Old Prague Ham.. It is just a ham on a grill.. Tourist scam. I know it because I am czech and I have lived in Prague and Iv seen them scamming people with my own eyes.

stop promoting the ham place, that entire business is a scam.

Staropramen taste same as Pilsner? And same as Stela? GTFO

You eating Poor's man food.

Next time in Prague, try to visit something else than the tourist trap places only. Let the "Honest Guide" youtube channel be your guide. Every Prague newcomer should avoid this video.
