food & drink SpeciAlty Food ShopS The Sapa Vietnamese market is Prague’s Little Hanoi; here you can buy tofu in tubs of water and bags of frozen jumbo shrimp, along with fresh herbs and exotic produce. Go to Japa for sushi ingredients and frozen sweet potatoes, creamed corn, and panko breadcrumbs. Caféshop Chez Amis is known for its cheap falafel and towering shelves of halal products. For fresh seafood, our message boards regularly feature e-shop Neptun Delikates, The Seafood Store (with multiple locations), and Pescheria Adriatico. Homesick Brits gravitate towards one of the four Robertson International Delicatessens for English-breakfast staples, crisps, and biscuits, while Americans like Culinaria for their Doritos and Duncan Hines cake mixes; recent arrival The Candy Store imports American junk food as well. U Salvátora and Shalimar are fragrant emporiums of spice. Get yourself to the Greek Corner for thick yogurt, dolmades, and more. The Cheesy chain of stores brings flavorful Dutch cheese to the Czech lands. The Italian restaurant Aromi’s La Bottega carries fresh pasta, homemade sauces and numerous sundries. czech deliS Purchase pre-prepared salads (mayonnaise-heavy mixes of meat, veggies, cheese, and pickles) at Czech delicatessens for take-away or to eat on the spot, and chlebíček—an open-faced sandwich of a layer of potato salad, a slice of meat, a slice of cheese, and a layer of hard-boiled egg and pickle, topped with a swirl of cream. Lahůdky also sell smoked fish and meat in aspic and cold potato-pancakes. Some include cukrárna (sweet-shop) treats, an assortment of pastries and cakes. Prague’s most beloved lahůdky are Jan Paukert, also specializing in imported cheese, wine, cognac, and charcuterie, and Zemark on Wenceslas Square. FARmeRS’ mARketS The overwhelming success of the first Prague farmers’ market in March 2010 has led to a wave of farmářské trhy across the country. The season starts in mid-March and usually runs until the end of autumn. Though some locations stay open through Christmas, markets usually close before the cold weather sets in. (The Holešovice Markets continue indoors during the winter months.) Most green markets take place on Saturday, though weekday farmers’ markets pop up, too. Opening hours are generally from 8:00 or 9:00 until the early afternoon on Saturdays, and longer on weekdays. Shoppers can purchase local produce, much of it organic, and hopefully in compliance with quality standards. Fruit and vegetables, local cheeses, fish from South Bohemia, sausages, bakery products, and organic honey are basic offerings, but gourmet treats like ice cream made from goat’s milk or ostrich pâté aren’t unheard of. You can also order farmářská bedýnka (produce-boxes) for home delivery. Popular farmers’ markets are Jiřího z Poděbrad and Palackého náměstí. For a comprehensive listing of markets, dates, and opening times, visit www.ceskefarmarsketrhy.cz/ farmarske-trhy-praha. oRGAnic Food The Czech word for “organic” is “bio”—look for the official green biolabel on the packaging. Supermarket chains carry organic beef (and occasionally organic pork and lamb). Biofarma Sasov products are recommended by foodie website Scuz.cz. But organic chicken, because of its high production cost, isn’t farmed in the Czech Republic, and is more difficult to find. Perhaps the only outlet is the Albio chain of health food stores. Otherwise, for free-range chicken, the brand Vodňany, available at many supermarkets, produces chicken labeled as “cornfed” (kukuřičné, also referred to as farmářské or zlaté kuře). Eggs from free-range hens are usually called vejce od slepic chovaných na podestýlce—literally, “eggs from hens raised on hay” (as opposed to in cages). To determine exactly where your meat came from, go to www. biohovezi.cz and enter your product’s serial number. Bio Market Vítek has a standard selection of health-store goods, plus organic wines, and freshly ground spelt coffee. Country Life, the first post-revolution health food wholesaler in the Czech Republic, is still going strong. Their dry goods can be found in many supermarkets, as well as in their own health food shops, which also sell groceries and cosmetics. Rozmarýna’s offers free delivery for purchases over 800 CZK of its organic fruits and vegetables, cow and goat dairy products, and teas. Bio Zahrada, a coffee shop and organic store with a large selection of produce, and Bio Home are Vinohrady favorites. Bioobchod.cz runs a number of stores across the Czech Republic. For help deciphering lists of ingredients and other important consumer information, visit Emulgatory.cz for a run-down of dyes, preservatives, emulsifiers, and additives by illustration and code, as well as a list of harmful ingredients to avoid. The site also provides a database of articles on nutrition trends and topics. czech pleASe Food bloG Prague’s first English-language food blogger “Brewsta” posts a new adventure in eating every week on Expats.cz. Brewsta’s most popular annual posts—often hotly debated on our message boards—are his “best of” articles.
