This video was so much fun! Okamura's party is called SPD. (Svoboda a přímá demokracie). Czechoslovak nation only existed as a term 1918 - 1938 so that Slovaks wouldn't be smaller minority than Germans. So in 1989 there were Czechs and Slovaks. Cranberries go with svíčková. Personally I don't see people walking around Prague in these working pants all the time, but maybe I just don't notice.

This was adorable! For a bit of context: aside from everything that's been said here about Karel Schwarzenberg (a descendant of a noble family), he had a tendency to fall asleep during long parliamentary debates. It wasn't just the one case, but rather a personal propensity for napping :) The red shorts are still burnt into people's consciousness as a symbol of the communist educational system, wherein gym attire was strictly prescribed: white socks, white t-shirt and shorts. Red for boys, navy blue for girls. As much as president Zeman likes to distance himself from the communist era, the public would often remind him that his policies and overall mindset are very much in line with the pre-1989 times.

[@CZpersi]

I remember that the red shorts were so deeply ingrained into teacher’s minds that they tended to enforce them even many years after the Velvet revolution. I think, it may have originated with pre-WWII Sokol, in fact, but was adopted by the Communists for Spartakiada.

You were right, Langose originated in Hungary, and they basically are fried bread dough, but they are so delicious, if you dont mind the greasiness.

...... original rustic langoš (lángos in Hungarian) should not be greasy at all as they were NOT fried in hot fat; rather, village people baked them along with bread in raditional rustic owens prehetaed with live fire (kind of similar to wood fired pizza owens, but not the same and there are not many who know how to make them nowadays) as they were made from any leftover bread dough; while still hot, they used to be greased with melted pig lard with shredded or finely diced garlic in it; fried langoš is a later urban invention; actually, the same thing used to be called "podplameník" in Slovakia, Czechs should understand this word pefectly and the Hungarian word "lángos" means exactly the same thing - láng = plameň (or plamen in Czech) ....

Well I am too young to remember communism but I was told that back then everyone knew someone who either worked or knew someone else who worked with materials needed for your project (in this case chata - summer home) and you either bought it from them or bartered with them (for example pipes for lets say major repair on a car for free if you were a mechanic or knew a mechanic etc.). Commie companies kept poor inventory logs so steeling from the state was simple and hazard free and people didn't mind or even felt justified to do it because the communist regime stole from them and not once (nationalization, collectivization, various currency reforms which were basically nationalization of private savings in disguise etc.) 11:59 yea nd this is a typical "Pepik" who went to Tatras in shorts, sandals and socks and his "svačina" (snack) in a plastic shopping bag and he is about to scale the highest peak in this part of Europe despite it is already getting dark, there are storm clouds gathering and he is not paying for the cable car no matter what.

Langoše have nothing in common with pizza and you really should not give up on them without trying. Not healthy but they taste great!

[@ZemplinTemplar]

I'd say the best way to compare them in terms of texture is to friedcakes, just very thin, in flatbread form, and without any fillings (due to that thinness). The only vague similarity with pizza is that it's eaten with toppings, but even those toppings tend to be different and applied differently. Pizza has a thin, non-fluffy, harder crust, while every well-made langoš is soft, doesn't really have a crust. The batter used for a langoš and a pizza is also a fair bit different.

There was a lot of construction so usually it was this construction material that was stolen. Managers kind of accounted for this so they always ordered more material than was needed. So that was very helpfull when you wanted to build your own house. But people build Chata mainly because there was little recreation here. No see or ocean to go to for vacation and relax. Just mountains foressts and some lakes. So we build these little cabins to spend our free time there.

When I had visited Hungary (Balaton region) in the 1970's, most Langos were sweet - most popular was with cinnamon sugar, closely followed by vanilla sugar, then variations on the theme, including putting scoops of ice cream on the langosh.

KOFOLA! I would give my life for a glass of cool, fresh kofola on hot Summer days... or cool Fall or freezing winter days in The pub or the beautiful spring days when you finally can sit outside without having your butt freeze off... basically I would take kofola for drink any day .... yeah :D

Jen, I can’t believe you haven’t tried Kofola! It is the BEST cola ever! I tell people it is the cola for people with discerning taste! There are so many different flavors playing on your tongue. Start with regular or original but then try some of the flavored ones. Angreśt (gooseberry) was surprisingly good. I also love meruňka, meloun, citronu and the Christmas oné they had in 2019 was awesome! There was always a bottle of Kofola on my counter in Brniště!

Golden piglet is not about eating meat. To see golden piglet you must not eat at all. And obviously not for a whole day. Probably it depends on local traditions. But never heard about not eating a meat. It really does not make sense to eat all the candies and I dont think that in early days they had spare meat.

Kofola was originally meant to be a beverage for miners in coal mines, beacuse they were drinking beer, so they would often get drunk and then bad things happened (sometimes really bad things). To be honest it did not work with miners very well, but czech would totally fall in love with kofola. Plus fun fact: The man, who invented the kofola (it was good friend of my grandparents) didn’t received much many, he got only 500 crowns (which is about 22 dolars).

I discovered you only recently. Slovak here living in Italy (Italian husband). Even here in Italy we had something like langoš which in Italy they call it fried pizza (what a surprise). So you need to try it, both of you. There are many tipes I would recommend one with sour cream on top and cheese of course. And Czechs in Slovak mountains that’s legendary. I remember watching news with my ex boyfriend and every time they said someone died in Tatra’s we were like so how much bet he was Czech. And pomlazka is used to beat women quite brutally let’s be honest. And Slovak women get a looot of very cold water on Easter as well. Not missing Slovak Easter in Italy at all.

Lángos indeed probably comes from Hungary (purely based on the name) however, langoš with ketchup is a Czech thing. Typical toppings in Hungary are sour cream+grated cheese, minced garlic in oil (you just brush it on), and plain with just salt on top (my preference).

[@terentule]

Are you sure? I think ketchup is as prevalent as sour cream in Hungary on langoš (or at least Budapest, from what I remember). Though sour cream on langoš is delicious :)

[@Gorbi1985]

Hungarians even have sweet version of Lángos.

It's not impossible that it has become more popular, but it's definitely not the default (maybe it's easier to sell ketchup topping to tourists than raw garlic, lol). It wasn't even on offer when I was a kid.

[@standabernatik007]

The name of the car, which Honza couldn't recollect well, was "embéčko" - a type of Škoda car. The word in question is derived from the initials of the city where Škoda is manufactured, ie Mladá Boleslav -> MB. These initials were also part of the full name of the first type, which was "Škoda 1000 MB". When you spell the initials in Czech, you say it [em be] and this gave rise to the new noun "embéčko" (pronounced something like [em-bech-koh]), the colloquial name of this car.

I remember when we were visiting pool on basic school after swimming I've got hungry ... and there was a window to bistro and I every the time eat two of these :) It's probably not very often to see it nowadays, but it's not so bad food. See a recipe: A bread - czech old honest bread using wheat and rye flour and rye ferment. A bread just cut to slices Put eggs, salt, black peper freshly grounded and czech breadcrums (made from rohlik or houska - the standard white pastry), whip and mix together. Put the oil to the pan, put the whipped egg to that a fry like a slim pancake from both sides. Put to the bread slices, add a czech mustard (plnotučná), pickles (usually gherkin and red pepper (kapie)) and sliced onion.

[@machi65536]

I have no intention to correct you since you did really great job describing all those bizarre things that somehow got part of our culture. Just one "funny note" on Kofola. The story is that it got invented (deeply in communist era) to get rid of remaining caffeine from coffee roasting. Another more funny story is that it was invented as a replacement of a "western" (and thus bad, wrong, capitalist, ...) Coca-Cola. It was very popular during the communist era but not much after the revolution. People wanted everything western back then. The beverage itself was being made in the local pubs from "Kofo" syrup whose ingredients remain unknown. The recipe of the syrup was bought (for quite a lot of money) by a Greek family and they are the only manufacturer since then. And they were also able to "restart" it so it's one of the most popular drink here (and točená even more in Slovakia) again :).

And regarding muchomurka one interesting thing about the name. The word is joined from two words - Mucho - this is really related to moucha - fly and murka - this is related to the word mořit which in its original meaning means causing the death, not neccesserily quickly - so the name means to kill fly in fact .. because it was used in the past as a flytrap. The cap of the muchomurka was marinated in sweet watter or milk and than the sugar was put on it. The poison was melted into that sweet, flies eat it and died. This is probably not new for you guys, as in english the name of this mushroom is exactly connected ... fly agaric, fly amanita, scarlet flycap
