i made an incredibly yummy lunch of salami (polican & paprikka), herb and crusted cheese, boiled egg, and bread. oh, and beer, i can't forget the beer. it was yummm! yes that is BUDVAR, made by budweiser. it is actually pretty good unlike its american counterpart.
once the rain stopped i got ready to meet machin's friend david for drinks. very cool guy! we decided to meander around until one of us got hungry. while on our adventure, we stumbled upon a music festival, UNITED ISLANDS OPEN AIR FESTIVAL.
like any other outdoor music festival there was lots of beer, quick food, in this case it was yummy looking sausages, drunk guys sleeping under trees, oh, let me re-phrase, passed the fuck out under trees, and TRDELNIK; which is a sweet czeck and slovak pastry. it's plain dough wrapped around a metal rod and then doused with butter and sugar and cooked over coals. the result was a flaky/crunchy outside and a lovely chewy interior with a slight almond, honey taste. mmm...mmmm...good. however, it is super sweet so i am glad to report that david and i shared. it was then off to beer, oooohh the nectar :-) oh how can i forget the guy with the button...the picture explains it all!
while at the festival we listened to MAD MANOUSH from Switzerland. they were pretty good, they had an interesting wow factor....what you might ask...? well, they incorporated an accordion, violin, stand up bass, amongst others. they are described as a crossover from gypsy jazz to pop-rock-punk, they were super upbeat. i think i will venture back saturday. from the festival we headed over to NOSTITZ. started off with 2 GAMBRINUS and then ordered the steak tartar. wow what a dish. fried bread with raw garlic cloves came out on the first plate. on the second, minced raw beef with a raw egg on top surrounded by white and red onions, paprika, and mustard which david mixed all the ingredients together into a paste. we rubbed the garlic on the bread then spread the tartar on top. mmmm....
after dinner we headed back to my flat and his metro stop for his 25+ minutes ride home. got home, made some tea, had a chat with my mom & jp, and then went back to mimilandia.
