Prague was a dream.

Friday, August 7, 2026: This morning we went on the walking tour we had postponed from Wednesday the temps were only in the low 80s and it was so much more pleasant to be walking around. This tour was in Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. We saw lots of lovely old buildings and heard stories from over the years. The city suffered only one day of bombing during WWII (and that was by mistake) so it has original buildings and not reconstructions as so many places in Germany. There wasn’t as much about the Jewish community as I thought we would hear more just about the history of the place they lived when they first came to Prague. Our tour guide was a Kafka fan so we heard several references to him as he was born and lived in Prague.

One of my goals for the day was to have a chimney cake as they are everywhere here. On the tour we found out that they originated in Hungry and the tour guide pointed out a stand in the Jewish Quarter that is said to make some of the best. We went back after the tour and it was so delicious! They wrap a raised dough around a metal cylinder a couple of inches in diameter. It is then fried and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. You can have them served in a number of ways and some people opted to have them filled with ice cream. We wanted to enjoy just the pastry but did decide to have the inside coated, mine with dark chocolate and Dave’s with plum jam.

Also on the tour, the guide told us how pilsner beers were developed first in Prague. Dave has been careful about how much beer he is drinking on this trip as it both affects his allergies when he has it in August and can trigger gout any time of the year. He decided this was worth one of those times and he declared it delicious!

We walked around a bit more and then decided to head out to a winery in the outskirts of the city. The wine was just ok, but the views were tremendous.

Dinner was at a restaurant located in a fancy hotel and was very delicious. We both had a goat cheese and beet salad to start and I chose a chicken dish with vegetables while Dave had salmon. I had the most delicious chocolate mousse cake for dessert.

We finished the night with special cocktails in our hotel bar, listening to a lovely piano player.

so this is half of a chimney sandwich which is filled with thin sliced turkey, crunchy lettuce (lil gem?), provolone cheese slices, cucumber slices, bell pepper julienne strips, red onion slivers, tomato slices, and paprika aioli in a savory cheesy chimney bread (i think usually hungarian Kürtöskalács chimney cakes are sweet) from twisted sweets & savory in herndon va. it was fun to eat - a bit messy as it is so big (hard to get my mouth around it - i had to gnaw on the sides and ate top portion with veggies and then alternate with bite of the bottom portion with the meat and cheese. the price of the sandwich is comparable to the subs in most local delis (actually a bit less than some of the delis nearby if you take into account the size). i hope this cute mom and pop eatery does well - the sandwich was fun to eat!

Kürtőskalács

These cylindrical breads or chimney cakes, a popular street food in Romania and Hungary originate in Transylvania. My Romanian friend and neighbor Christian helped me make a batch. It was somewhat experimental and we tried a number of different techniques for forming the bread spirals. The one described here seems to be the best.

A rich bread dough consisting of 750 grams of flour, 60 grams of sugar, 300 ml of milk, two eggs, two egg yolks, 100 grams of butter, 20 grams of yeast, and a pinch of salt was stirred together then kneaded in the stand mixer with the dough hook for about 5 minutes. The soft dough came together to form a nice ball which was allowed to rise for about 60 minutes.

While waiting cover ten beer cans with aluminum foil and set aside. (Drink the beer first.)

After an hour divide the dough into ten portions, about 135 grams each. Take one foil covered beer can and spray it with cooking spray. Take one dough portion and roll it out into an rectangle about 4 by 12 inches. Use a bench scraper to cut it into five equal strips. Wrap the strip around the can in a spiral. Anchor each end by sticking in under the next round. Pinch the strips together to form a continuous spiral. Roll each can on its side to flatten out the dough and help bring it all together. Stand the cans on their end.

Once all the cans are finished coat each with a nice coating of melted butter then roll in a fifty/fifty mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Place the cans upright on a sheet pan and place them into a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Take them out and let them cool for about ten minutes the pull the foil wrapped cans out.

Take your Kürtőskalács to Bucharest or Budapest and sell them on the street.
