Category:Czech recipes
Czech cuisine, which is described as being of mild flavours and hefty textures, is marked by a strong emphasis on meat dishes. Pork is quite common; beef and chicken are also popular. Goose, duck, rabbit and wild game are served. Fish is rare, with the occasional exception of fresh trout and carp, which is served at Christmas. The national dish is Vepřo-knedlo-zelo or Svíčková na smetaně (beef with creamy vegetable sauce). Czech desserts aren't particularly sweet, and frequently are with poppy seeds. Aside from Slivovitz, Czech beer and wine, Czechs also produce two uniquely Czech liquors, Fernet Stock and Becherovka. Kofola is a non-alcoholic domestic cola soft drink which competes with Coca Cola and Pepsi in popularity.
