Late afternoon pub snack of Czech standards

We continued to check Czech foods off of our check list. An afternoon snack at a pub in the middle of town provided the opportunity for a couple of more standards.


First came pickled sausages, a quite common snack with a pint of beer. These large sausages had been sliced and stuffed with pickles, while pickled onions were sprinkled liberally around the plate. A great concept that needs a slightly better sausage. These huge sausages just don't have that much flavor, which results in the bite tasting too much like bologna. But the pickle and onions were very nice.


Second was a plate of fruit dumplings with cheese, for some reason called "Sarajevo bullets" on the menu. These big balls of dough were slightly filled with a berry compote, served with crumbled cheese and a creamy yogurt-like substance. They were quite mediocre. I liked them more than my dining companions, who ruled them nearly inedible. The dough was way too much, the fruit filling not fresh and too little. The cheese and yogurt were nice additions, however, and brought some needed moisture to the plate. There is great potential here, but it is quite unrealized.
