When I was a really small kid growing up with parents who immigrated from the far southeast of Poland just a KM or two from the Czech border, mushroom picking was a family thing that happened every year. (they also foraged wild berries and root veg, which are far less common in New England) I didn't like to eat mushrooms, so I had no interest in it. I fancied myself a fisherman, and took care of my baby sister on the bank of the river while my parents foraged. We had a Connecticut state park less than a mile down the road, and it wasn't uncommon for my folks to fill up two paper grocery bags in an afternoon while I tried to fish and landed nothing, but my sister and I had a great time finding frogs, snails and other weird creatures. I only just came around to enjoying my aunt's Wigilia mushroom soup in the past year or two.

As a tourist it's kind of positive that Prague's food scene has been stuck in it's old ways. In many modern cities the native cuisine feels like it's been replaced by international restaurants so it's a treat to find a capitol where most restaurants still focus on local food. But after a while you really hope for some variation. I like the idea some of these new places use: keeping it local yet putting a modern twist on it, hopefully it spreads beyond the fine dining scene.

Series like these are great! But, I do find it a bit of a pity the person who presents it doesn't talk in her Native, in this case Czech, language. Converting everything to English, and letting her talk English with someone she would normally talk Czech with, takes away a depth the conversation might've had more. There would be a bigger vocabulary and therefore more interesting things to say. Subtitles aren't a shame.

Not a good Film, has very little to do with Original Czech Cuisine. except the Mushroom Soup from Krkonose from Petra. Kudos to Petra and to Farmers Markets. Forgett the Rest including the Reporter who has no Clue about Real Life.

Pretty good selection of places and real food aficionados, not just professionals, in this first part. However the tasting in -La Degustation- was rather an awful faux pas, Imho.

When i went to czech all the food had plumbs in it, and that was a big selling point for me, its weird how that wasn't even mentioned. Maybe they'll get to it in the next episode.

My new year's resolution is to never visit the comments section on a Munchies video ever again. Christ, what a bunch of miserable, judgmental, smarmy douche bags.

Every time there's a farmer's market in one of these videos they go on and on about them as if they're a brand new invention or some shit, it annoys me so much
