the first of all poppy seeds have the taste
and now, remember it forever: there is no possibility to be affected by drog because you ate poppy seeds!
the opium is possible to extract from juice of green capsule only - not from the seeds
Well, it is technically possible to get little high... after earing like 20 kilos of poppy seeds at once. Good luck trying that for anybody curious! 😁
@@janaduskova8694 Czech poppy is completely different version. You can hardly get some morfin or codein, no heroine or something.
😉Czech poppy idioms:
„Bylo tam lidí jako máku.“
“Má prázdnou makovici.”
“Nestojí to ani za mák.”
“Nerozumí tomu ani za mák.”
“Takový nebo makový.”
Wow, vidíš, mne napadol iba trt makový... Ale teraz uznávam že u nás sa používa tie aj to že ich bolo ako maku..
It is so funny that Jen says she does not like poppy seeds and then says she has never had a poppy seed kolac....so where the hell she tasted them, that she is so sure it is just a weird, tasteless thing. But it seems that there is some sort of prejudice in the U.S. women toward them: I remember an expat journalist from the U.S. trying to convince Czechs that poppy seeds are not to be put into any desert or pastry, because they are just NOT. Guess it was the last food advice article she ever published. Imagine a Czech writing into a major lifestyle magazine in the U.S. that peanut butter "just is not a thing, you have to wake up, stupid yankees".
🎯😊
I don't mind peanut butter, I do mind American "obsession" with ranch.-))
I am an American woman, married to a Czech man. I think Jen is confused in that the poppy seeds in Czech are ground poppy seeds - they taste COMPLETELY different than whole poppy seeds. In the US, poppy seeds are only used whole and are put in lemon muffins and on top of bagels - and UNGROUND poppy seeds are pretty tasteless, but the ground poppy seeds used in Czech in Kolace or buchti or makovec are DELICIOUS!
@@Tangocita444 well this makes a lot of sense. It's true, I've had plenty of poppyseeds in my life, but yes, always whole, unground, on a bagel. I had no ida the taste could be different! Now I'm going to have to try one of those kolaches!
A prejudice or American women against poppy seeds? 😂 Mmmmkaaay. But you're right that I shouldn't judge before I've tried one. Perhaps I'll go get one today and report back ;)
Beware of to think that you can understand Polish based on your czech language. Many words are same (or very simillar) in Czech and Polish but meaning is very different.
And many of those czech-polish "false friends" are pretty spicy... 😉

Czech Blue Poppy is a Czech variety of poppy with a very low alkaloid content! This variety is suitable for food use, with specific taste, which has a long tradition in Central Europe. It has a protected geographical indication in the EU too. Poppy is especially rich in iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium atc., and healthy fats. It is used whole (sprinkling bread) or ground (fillings, etc.).
Watch out for pot-bellied poppies and mixtures with other (!) imported varieties. In some countries, they do not know the food poppy, they live in the error that it contains opiates, as they are used to with the technical poppy in their country. The Czech Republic is the largest producer of edible poppy seeds in the world. Most of the poppy grown is exported. The value of exported Czech poppies exceeds the profit from the export of Czech hops.
What??? This is great information! Now I'm very curious about the taste.
@@DreamPrague Exactly. There is a document on RUclips where American tried to mix with local drug scene trying local poppy. They made the chemical analysis what he had brought with him in a university in Prague and all they found in that was just morfine and codein. Nothing more. And you need a lot of that to have any. Google blue poppy seeds. According to google is "sweet and floral, with rich, nutty flavor for baked goods and pastries". "Czech blue poppy (food safety cultivars Papaver somniferum) are widely consumed in many parts of Central and Eastern Europe. " Yes, it can cause a false drug test if you eat too much so the sportsman cannot eat them before sports events.
Here is the link to the documentary: ruclips.net/video/IdYZj9vmfi0/видео.htmlsi=wAzZB19__Mzx0Muu The lab analysis is at the and of that.
🤯 I had no idea about the last factoid!
thorrow, thanks man👍
Ground poppy is more like a paste, unlike poppy used for sprinkling houska or rohlik. Makový závin (štrůdl) with plums is one of the greatest delicacies here - you may get it on some of Masopust markets here.
Poppy seeds rule. We love to put them in pastry here in Germany, too. And they do have a taste to them, it’s subtle and not too sweet.
Getting lost in Slovakian Tatras is a rite of passage for most Czechs. You guys should try it.
And sandals are the basic equipment. Ofc with socks, because of the harsh mountain climate.
@@vitezslavnovak2077Fundamentalist czechs might prefer flip-flops
Pěkný začátek roku 🤣👍, z Honzy už je pěkný Čech i myšlením... Jenn, zkus koláček nebo i závin, v českém máku není narkotikum/opium 🙋🍻
Completely agree. Honza's "if you expect the worst, you can only be right or pleasantly surprised" is a quintessentially Czech attitude, and then his "good luck with that" regarding our dry February plans was a cherry on top.
IOW, we love Honza and he stole the show today!
Poppy seed must be grounded, both for kolace or noodles. Othewise it is crunchy but have no taste, as you Jen said. On the market is food mak, with negligible content of opioids. Pharmacy kind of mak is also produced in CZ but strictly controlled.
This is not information (grounding vs. Whole) now I'll have to try one for myself ;)
@@DreamPrague Sorry, why is that not information?
@@Spikus74 seems Jen omitted a word like "known" 🙃
@@trumbela yeah, that seems to be the case, when I read it for the first time, I thought she might've accidentally due to an autocorrect write "not" instead of "new," which would make more sense.
I love noodles with poppy seeds, sugar, and melted butter so much! It's the dish that really brings me back to my childhood. You should really give it a try, Jen. We need a video review! :D
Or the potato "gnocchi" (bramborové šišky) with poppy seeds, sugar and melted butter...
Hi Jennifer!
Sir_Mac here, as always!
I have to say I love Honza! Why? "Because if you're preparing for the worst scenario, you get the benefit of either being right or pleasantly surprised." THAT'S THE KEY!
There is something more exciting about Prague Tram System in / during 2024... The track from Národní Muzeum (Vinohradská) and Václavské náměstí (its middle, where Vodičkova and Jindřiská street are) is returing. Or better said, it is going to be newly built, but on the place, where trams were operated from 1888 to 1980.
Tobik always wants to participate, when both of you is recording, that's sweet.
I don't know, if it is because the mák is baked, but I can definitely tell you that the mák is absolutely going to do NO HARM to you, when present on the top of koláč or noodles.
Bag of rohlíky? Well, you can eat them or you can LET THEM DRY and transform them into "bread crumbs" / strouhanka!
Yes, I agree, Honza has the right outlook = or at least the most beneficial outlook = typical Czech. I'm not sure how I feel about that new tram line down Vaclavak! Will they get rid of the car traffic? that would be an improvement. Thanks for the tips on the poppy seeds - video to come!
@@DreamPrague The traffic on Václavák will be partly reduced and the parking will be reduced as well. The change with "parking" is going to be from "regular parking places" to "kiss and ride"...
"Pessimist" is optimist's name for a realist ;)
fair.
The Murder Tram ended the year with a 0:4 score.
And yes, it's fatalities. Trams have yet to lose a single point.
mrtví, co zemřou do 24 hodin od srážky...
Ahoj, jsem rád, že jste zpátky v Praze. Další skvělé video, jen upřesňuji, že IVA není sádlo. Je to ztužený rostlinný tuk používaný při pečení z mouky.
Ad meat - I think that she was defrosting the freezer, so she put the meat on the window for it to remain cold.
"I want to give Amazon my money. And they would not take it because I was not in the correct country." I know this is a sponsorship, but you could've opened up a great conversation how EU countries are not equal in available content. I remember when lockdown hit and all I wanted was to watch old disney shows on Disney+, but it would not come here until like 2 years later (and no, VPNs were worthless)
18:58 Jen that's not sadlo (lard) Iva is something that's called shortening (Crisco) in the US and it's made out of palm oil, no animal protein in it.
I grew up on Polish TV, in late 80s they already got some Disney shows and weve been close enough to border to catch their TV signal so i can confirm Polish is easy to understand for Czechs, we just had to got used to it, really try and listen to it in the beginning, and in no time one can understand it almost as easily as Slovak, and i worked with Polish in mixed office and they can understand Czech too, one just need to be loud and assertive enough and they give up pretending they cant.
😅
Prima zábavný rozhovor! Mák se na nudle a do moučníků dává mletý, takže nekřupe a výsledek je moc dobrý. A staré tvrdé pečivo lidé nabízejí těm, kdo chovají třeba králíky nebo kozy😅. Těším se na vaše další videa.
When it comes to poppyseed sweets, they've never been my favorite.
Moreover, I've observed that Polish people struggle (if not refused ) with Czech, but Czech people seem to have an easier time communicating in Polish.
Funny, I always go for the poppy seed kolaches, maybe because I grew up with them in Omaha, which used to have a lot of Czech bakeries. They’re great and far from tasteless. Hint: stay away from them before a drug test.
hahaha, there is no drug content in the poppy seeds. You get the opium from the poppyhead resine, long before they are ripe. So sorry to disapoint you, 0 effect from dry poppy seeds....the only thing they are rich of is calcium.
I am pretty sure they don't affect your drug test results 🙂
Of course you won’t get intoxicated, but “The U.S. Defense Department issued a memo on Feb. 17, 2023, warning service members to avoid eating poppy seeds because doing so may result in a positive urine test for the opiate codeine.”
@@user-ib9pz6id5b Yes they do. At least zero tolerance tests could fail.
@@richbulena8847 Oh interesting...
1:22 "nejkratší měsíc.." hahaha :D
Hi, Polish by birth, Czech by choice here :) so after living here for 5 years I still mix the language sometimes and sometimes I end uo saying very nit intended things. And not just the old classics (szukać), but last time I had an appointment with my doctor and wanted to describe shortness of breath. In Polish you'd say "duszno mi". Well, it's not something I say everyday, so I didnt remember how it was in Czech and just used the czech sounding version of the Polish expression. The expression on the doctors face when I stated I often feel "dusno". She then explained to me what it means and we had a good laugh about it.
Btw, if you're looking for a good scary and gloomy Slav crimi try "Wataha". It' all about all woods in desolated mountains in winter. Its on hbo with eng subbies:)
I think calling your husband Honza is adorable. 😊 Did you also have a Japanese name for him when you lived in Japan?
Also, I highly recommend spending a vacation in the High Tatras in Slovakia. Somehow they are tiny and majestic at the same time and I just love them.
Slovensky Raj!
Sweet poppy seeds are great flavour. My buchta/koláč order for toppings from best to least favourite goes mákové, ořiškové, tvarohové, povidlové.
You have to try makový závin, it‘s the best! 😍
The story with the falling bag is funny! Actually, I did the same thing once when I lived at Londynska street I was on 6th floor terrace (top floor btw) and there was a coffee place right below my flat. And I was having a smoke with my friend and my ciggy slipped out from between my fingers and fell all the way down and ended up precisely in some lady's coffee. xD
She looked 6 floors up at us and we both looked up on the sky :-D It was hilariously spontaneous. I also think we didn't fool her because she started yelling not very nice words. It was fun LOL
🎉 poppy seed filling is wonderful! You shouldn't criticise, without trying first. Seeds are crushed and cooked first into soft paste/filling before baking.
Nice to see you again, Jen. You got yourself a nice next video idea - go to a Czech pastry shop and try 3 different poppy seeds things - a koláč, cake, makovec, ... whatevery you want and we want to see your reactions. Or just visit few places from Honest guide´s map to find best location and do a bit tour with it as well :)
Hi Jen and Honza, it's always nice to see both of you in video, you have nice energy together.
In dry January, we only consume beer and maybe a little wine, so we are good.
love your take on "dry" January 👏
I just love watching you guys having a banter .👌
Great as always! Tiny thing - it was not lard, but vegetable oil thing. Like margarine is vegetable oil ( I know it's not vegetable but I mean from plants) looking like butter, this is vegetable/plant oil looking as lard. Iva, clessical for baking.
Aha- vegetable oil! No wonder it was still sitting there with no one to take it home :)
Baloon in streets of Prague: You definitely must see the classical movie "Adéla ještě nevečeřela"!
That was a masterful segue into the VPN plug. Smooth, very smooth.
aw shucks, I try. :)
You don't really need to fight the algorithm when it comes to me. I am always alerted by the bell that there is a new episode. I really like the outsider's view of Czech culture, even if you adopted a lot of it to your everyday life already :)
Anyway, on poppy seeds: I really like their taste, and they can be good both with sweet and salty food. I had some kaiser rolls with poppy seeds in the past, and I ate it with cheese and it was delicious. But most of the time it comes in sweet pastry, making it a bit more unhealthy because of all the sugar. However, it can be really tasty whether you eat koláč, závin or rohlíček, the key (for it to be noticeable in the taste) is that there is a lot of it. You won't be able to tell from just a few grains of poppy. As for the opium, it's mostly found in the green part of the plant, and mostly before the poppyhead is ripe. Poppy seeds are no drug :)
Poppy seed noodles were cheap, easy and quick meal with few ingrediences that everyone used to have at home. Poppies can be grown even in the mountain areas, like Liptov, where my family is from. My mom used to make them often for me, poppy seed is my favourite flavor of all used in the traditional desserts. In Slovakia, we have a traditional Christmas dish called opekance, which can be made with mak, tvaroh or bryndza
Did Tobik enjoy the manna-style falling meet? Or the lady from the fourth floor was faster?
Ground poppy seed with sugar put on noodles is delicious. You have to try it Jen! You may not like it right away though. I am Czech, but live in Canada for over 25 years and when I was very new here someone gave me a peanut butter toast. I absolutely hated it, but then I gave it a few more tries and I got obsessed with peanut butter.
15:11 Yes, we can. Also, Poland has a thingy for poppy seed based desserts as well.
@DreamPrague I'm one of the few Czechs who don't enjoy poppy seeds, it's my least favorite filling among the usual koláč-fillings, but I quite like koláč with poppy seeds and plums - if you won't find poppy seed pastries tasty, try this one, you might like it. It's common in many bakeries.
Thanks for the tip!
Bags of old dried rohlíky have 2 possible purposes:
1) You can make strouhanka from it (which you can then use to make řízky).
2) You can feed certain animals with it.
February is a time of "masopust" i.e. dry February makes sence.
Oh that is true, I hadn't thought about that.
poppy seeds are the best! jen, you have to try makový koláč
Pesimist is just well informed optimist. And optimist is bad informed pesimist.
dává smysl
I need to try that Chmiel and Woda, that sounds really interesting
A dry February was invented for Praguers. In Moravia, we know that the wines are in February matured enough in barrels and can be bottled now. Which is the first serious decision point about their future - and, of course, you can then buy the wines from last year. Se suchým únorem mně dejte pokoj. 😉 PS: The same applies to slivovica, hruškovica and meruňkovica, did I make it clear?
You do realize that the poppy seeds are ground when you put them on pasta or šišky, right? Therefore, there is no crunch. :) BTW, absolutely the best. In addition, I want to add that Czech poppy seed pastry tastes completely different than what you buy in the USA, so maybe, give it a try. My favorite 3-combination. Don't worry, you won't get high. I actually never knew that this was a problem until I was in the States, where everybody was - OMG, OMG now you will test positive. I have been eating this since I was 2. But, then again, you need to either make it home or buy something better than what comes out of the plastic bag in Albert. Also, the picture of "sádlo" that you had there is not sádlo, but margarine, it is rostliný tuk. I guess it is supposed to be used in the frier. If I saw that I would probably think - a kid was sent to the store to get it, stopped there and forgot he had it, later was running back. Or somebody repacked the bag to carry it home and forgot, another option is a foreigner bought it, thinking it was something else. And falling bag with meat, I get it. I did this myself - not with meat, the only difference I live in a house, so it will mostly fall in my backyard. There is never enough room in the fridge, especially if you have people coming and preparing a large meal.
Okay you sold me on the poppy seeds! I'm going to have to go try them.
I like this format. 👍
The Škoda word play was nice! 🙂 Good job.
There are no effects of poppy seed. We just like the taste.
The game changer about poppy seeds is that the Czechs CRUSH them (they mill/grind them in a grinder) which is how they extract the flavor from them. Without THAT process the poppy seeds would be useless for the pastries they're used in. And that procedure makes the poppy seeds SOOO flavorful. With a little license, it's like the difference between peanuts and peanut butter, or the difference between olives and olive oil.
Lethally funny you guys. Thanks 😀
Here's a new year's reso for Honza - be featured on the channel more often
Friendly warning for Jen: dissing poppy seeds will get yr ars black listed young lady!! like them poppy seed koláče with plums, mmhaaa kidding me right? gotta go give your new love at first bite a chance 😍
Skvělý začátek! 😎
Německo, Francie, Belgie.....To je dneska už velké dobrodružství 👍
Haha, I have always lived my life on the premise of being a realist- preparing for the worst and being pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen. I am currently preparing for a second term of Trump 😵🤦♀
I can't believe in all your time there you haven't tried a poppy seed-filled something. The filling is sweet and quite nice. Nudle s makem, however, was never one of my favourite meals, and I can't say I recommend trying it. You should have watched Forst with Czech dubbing to work on your Czech 😉 Isn't there a Czech fairytale where sausages fall from the sky? 😂😂😂
If you had only 1 evening in Prague in February, where would you go? (the rest of the week will be spent in Krkonose)
Hello, my favorite food is noodles with poppy seeds or potato gnocchi (škubánky) with poppy seeds... And what did I have for breakfast today? Yes! Bun (šáteček) with poppy seeds! But be careful, the poppy seeds must first be ground in a grinder and then added to pasta or buns. A certain amount of sugar is added to the ground poppy depending on how sweet you like it. Not sugar "krystal"! But fine sugar "moučka".
A bit of knowledge: However, there is very little morphine and codeine in the edible poppy grown in the Czech Republic. Decree No. 399/2013 Coll.[10] allows a limit of 25 mg of morphinan alkaloids per 1 kg of poppy seed.
So in order to feel the effect of the morphine in the poppy, you would have to eat such a quantity that the amount of poppy would kill you before you would feel the first effect of the drugs... 🙂

6:06 There is an easier and free solution to Audible's region block: just input into audible a fake USA address on your debit/credit card settings (ideally in state with 0% VAT). And if Amazon really doesn't want your money, there are certain "bays"...
13:32 It's a children/quick meal. You just boil some noodles, at the same time melt the butter in small cup on the lid of the pot with noodles, and when it's done, you just flavor the noodles with milled poppy seeds, sugar and melted butter... Just quick and easy, no science needed.
20:41 Well, acciendents happen. If you just don't have enough space in the fridge and its winter outside, why not put your food outside of window? My dad certainly did so, when we spending spring school vacation with us in the mountains skiing. Just be careful of beer bottles - the iced beer inside is stronger than a beer glass...

Another great episode but I have to defend the honor of Czech poppy seed fillings. They're in top 3 of my preferred fillings and you'd have to pry them from my cold dead hands!
Poppy seeds are great!!! :D. I don´t like pastries and noodles or basically anything made of flour but I love poppy seeds so once in a while I buy something stuffed with poppy seeds and I make sure the ratio is at leats 50:50. :)
And the noodles with oil and poppy seeds you mentioned... They don´t often make them in restaurants... What a shame. I would go to such a restaurant... :).
Wow, I love that couch. Where did you get it?
Wondering that myself.
Ikea!
Regarding the poppy seeds debate. I work in a supermarket (Lidl) in the center of Prague. Often times in the baking section of the store no less. So I do sometimes get asked what the various poppy seed flavored products taste like and I am always at a loss. My best explanation is they taste a bit sweet, but really I always just took poppy seed desserts as a fact of life. Only recently, because of my interactions with tourists, did I find out that poppy seeds are pretty exclusive to Czechia. I mean everyone likes to boast about our beer consumption, which is large on per capita basis. But doesn't even make the top 10 when we account for the total sum. However Czechia is actually like the largest nation in both poppy seed production and consumption. Not every year, but for such a small country I felt like this fact should be way better known than it is.
PS: poppy seeds with butter, sugar and unsalted pasta are one of those dishes that you wouldn't try on your own accord, but since it's one of the meals that gets rotated as a school lunch most Czechs will have tasted it and it's surprisingly very good, although I like the quark variant more. While on the topic I would wholeheartedly recommend "Škubánky s mákem". Not very common meal nowadays, but once again something Czechs will probably eat in the school cafeteria. I don't like sweet meals in general so I can't say I would have them often. But man are they great if done right.
Škubánky s mákem looks....well I bet it tastes just as it looks! But I have to say I'm curious! I guess what I don't understand most is the sweet on a pasta, likie nudle s makem! I'm going to make them and find out ;)
Did not know we are the poppy seed masters. Turns out you are absolutely correct. Interesting.
Try the poppy seed kolac from tesco. It might not sound like it, but theirs is the proper poppy seed filling.
try the poppy kolac or noodles with poppy, you will be very surprised what it is, it has nothung to do with what you apparently expect
I would expect "dry February" has to do with Lent...
Though poppy seeds are not entirely unique to Czechia. They could come across poppy cake, poppy rolls, poppy dumplings or poppy noodles also in Germany.
That seems strange, most people ignore lent here.

CREMATOR (1969) is czech noir masterpiece. MUST WATCH! Make a review like Cozy Dens, please.
Jen, měla bys ochutnat makový koláč! Je to fakt moc dobré a nemá to nic společného s opiem 😀
Staré dobré nudle s mákem😂, Jen zkus je ochutnat, není to tak špatné❤
Mák musí být samosřejmě umletý a s cukrem
Miluju všechno makové. Když jsou na výběr koláčky tvarohové povidlové jablečné ořechové nebo makové vzdy si vyberu mák.Nemohla bych žít v Americe protože tam nemají makové pečivo 😂
Mimochodem v životě jsem neslyšela o něčem takovém jako je suchý leden 😊
"Drug effect" of poppy seeds comes after eating like five kilogram of that thing or drinking watter, in wich the five kilogram was inside (like a tea). Few gramms are harmless. BTW, the poppy seed on pies, or pasta is sweet, not tasteless.
It is funny, how the group of people, who (historicaly) did not use the ingredience, tends to dislike it or belive said ingredience is not ussefull.
We love Canadian Partake non-alcoholic beers, esp. IPA, 0% alcohol, 10 calories. It's a mystery how it can be so good.
The Tram keeps track of the score of deaths during collisions of trams vs pedestrians. Pedestrians are yet to win a point.
Jen you have to do a video with tasting poppy seeds sweets and noodles :D ...it is not just poppy seeds, there is always sugar in it and in koláč there are other things tooy so it is not tasteless... and about the "effect" it has... we do not eat because of that :D In fact, czech mák does not have these effects because there is a lot less of that druggy stuff in it :D thats why we can eat so much of it and children too :D
Great idea!! I will do it ;)
Hi just a quick question, did you stop wearing shoes immediately when you moved to Czech? I live in Ireland and I wear shoes in my house. And regarding mák cesi ho maji hrozne radi, zadne drogove zazitky z toho nemame 😂😂😂😂
Idk what kind of "mak" you had, Jen, but it has distinct flavor. It has to be mixed before use,the poppy seeds are crushed and release its oil and flavor. Dont compare it to stings like chia seeds, thats totaly diferent. Mák is best with cinamon and brown sugar and a pinch of salt, in my opinion and then you can add it to whatever.....Makove slíže? Best meal, in my opinion. Give it a chance, i dare you.
What happend to that hot air balloon? Any follow ups?
That story with a bag of meat falling from above reminded me of my childhood. When I was little we always had a lot of walnuts from both our grandmothers and we kept them on our balcony. I absolutely hated walnuts, the taste is incredibly disgusting to me. We lived in a panelák in 7th (8th US) floor and there was a pedestrian zone / cyklostezka around 30 meters from our house in the direction of our balcony and sometimes when my friend came over, we would throw the walnuts at the pedestrians bellow. We thought it was very funny how the people were confused what the hell was happening when the walnuts broke around them on the pavement. One time in winter my friend was over and because there were no walnuts, we were throwing potatoes. At one point, I threw a big potato at a girl and her mother who were riding bikes in a direction perpendicular to us. They stopped, got down from their bikes and looked around confused. Then, the girl walked few meters off the pavement into the grass, she picked up her hat from the grass, shook out something from the hat, put it on and they went on their way. Only at that moment I realized I actually shot the hat off her head with the potato while they were riding on a bike. Few centimetres lower and something terrible could have happened. Needless to say we never tried to throw anything off the balcony again.
Potatoes! You might have really hurt her! I'm impressed that she shook it off and kept going. :)
I'm finishing dry January today :D
👏
See you at the Zichovec Winter Fest tomorrow!
What happened to content in Czech?
Good point and a perfect example of why Czechs don't do new year resolutions - they're broken as soon as they are pronounced. 😜 Cheers to Czech pragmatic pessimism aka realism! 😆
It will be forthcoming! Some people complained that they want content in English, so I will do a mix.😬
Woda for Yoda xD
Já žiju podle hesla " Počítej s tím nejhorším a doufej v to nejlepší" a k tomu máku je s ním spousta cukru a proto je dobrý. Mě chutná, když je v něm trošku švestkových povidel není pak tak suchý.

Budu!
Yeah poppy seeds pasta is something you gotta grow up on to like it 😅
The best thing about the trams is the fact that the count is setup like a sports score. You are not only counting how many people were killed by the tram, but also how many trams were killed by collisions with a human. Curiously, the later seems to just stay at zero. So maybe don't walk into it's way, you are not gonna win that match-up. Absolutely hilarious black humour and very Czech. 😀
Honza and I are rolling on the floor reading this.
Still zero SuperThanks buttons here. It looks like I will have to buy a VPN in spite of I never feel any need for it :)
Jen, come on, we don't put Poppy seeds in everything. I don't like it and I am Czech. We are just one of the few countries who use it when making food. (Koláč with plum butter is a lot better, give it a try).
Many Czechs claim it´s easy to understand Polish. I am Czech, honestly- I don´t think it´s that simple. Many words mean something different even though they sound similar and it took me a few years of my ex-sister-in-law talking Polish to get the hang of it...
Oh, Tatras are pretty. Go to Roháče. :) in summer. Not so crowded and so beatiful. Bare and charming.
Wait till you relise, that poppy seeds doesn't have any drug effect. (I don't really like them, but they have very specific taste.)
I don't do any New Year resolutions either - why do it on this artificial date? if I want to change something, start any day of the year
OMG you need to try koláč or závin with poppy seed. It is ground poppy seeds with sugar and it tastes nothing like whole seeds. Same with nudle s mákem. It forms this sweet paste with butter, It is traditional kid's food. If kids like it right away, you can be sure it is not repulsive,
Okay. I'm going to make it. Video to come ;)
During dry February we only drink dry wines. 😂
😂
7:45 it may be the "more pragmatic" reason... but also, if you really want to change somethig, why would you wait for new year? You dont need "new year resolution", you can just stop or start doing whatever you want whenever you feel like it. Do you want to stop smoking in april? Welp, stop in april. Do you want to start going to the gym in october? Do it in october. There is absolutly no reason to start with these goals specificaly only at new year. And because new year is only 1 day out of 365, there is less then 0,3% chance that you start with the resolution on new year and over 99,7% chance that you will start with the resolution on any other day. I think it is not pesimistic or "more negativ" - I would say that not limiting ourselfs specificaly to new year is actualy possitive and give us more options and higher chance that we achieve the goal.
Staropramen kdysi prodával "Sládkovu limonádu", já to kupoval místo nealko piva - to by bylo asi lepší než to polské s divnou barvou.
Bohužel už jsem to dlouho neviděl: ruclips.net/video/Z9uPhYvqSaQ/видео.html
Jo ta byla dobrá, škoda, že už je to pryč. Teď je tu hromada "chemických" příchutí od birelu, ale pít se to nedá.
Druh effect from poppy seeds 😂😂😂 come on, there is no drug effect from makové koláče
