When it comes to Prague famous food the trdelnik has to be on the top of every must-eat list. It’s a pastry that originated in Transylvania but is popular in Prague, and can sometimes be found elsewhere in Central Europe. Trdelnik is made by rolling dough over a round wooden or metal mold. It’s then baked over an open fire until crispy on the outside. It’s then covered in sugar and chopped walnuts. When eating, it sort of peels apart, best when warm and fresh. You can have it plain or fill it with chocolate, cream, fruit, or ice cream. You’ll find stands literally all over the old town. Let’s be clear: This is not authentic Czech cuisine. It’s sold primarily to tourists, but it’s so damn delicious you’d be silly not to get one.
