I used New Year’s Eve leftovers as an excuse to make houskové knedlíky (bread dumplings) from the Czech Republic. I almost felt like I was back in Prague! 🇨🇿🍖

      For sure! And calling them dumplings is doing them a disservice in my eyes.

      For those who don’t know them: They are a taste sponge, taking up all that delicious sauce and delivering the concentrated flavor right to your taste buds. They are simply great.

        You’re right! The translation is such a disservice. That’s why I prefer to simply use the Czech term, houskové knedlíky. My goal was to expand my cultural understanding by trying to make another country’s food by hand. I’m very happy to say that I’m accomplishing that goal. 😻🇨🇿

          Sounds great and it wasn’t meant as a slight towards you, more towards the lacking English language ;).

            Agreed. English is so stoopid sometimes! I didn’t read what you said as offensive at all. We’re all good. 😺
