My Travel Photos: Trdelník
Enjoying a Trdelnik in Prague.
As most of you can see, I’ve have a sweet tooth. One of my favorite treats during my stay in Prague was the Trdelnik, a traditional sweet bread.
The Trdelnik is made by rolling the dough around a large cylindrical spit, grilled, and then topped with sugar and walnuts.
You can find Trdelnik stands throughout the city including at Old Town Square.
*Update*
I just wanted to clarify the origins of the Trdelnik. It is now an official protected Slovak product called Skalický Trdelník registered by the European Commission.
It’s also known as Chimmy Cake or Stove Cake in Hungary. The dessert originated from Transylvania. However, it was also known in the town of Skalica in Western Slovakia. One historical account indicates the dessert was prepared by a Transylvania cook who settled in the town during the late 18th century and improved the recipe.
Now, that’s a lot of history for a snack food!
