Argentinean steak and Czech trout

Treated myself to an Agentinean steak for dinner (actually financially the treat would have been NZ lamb chops). The lamb was 3 times the price of steak - about 600Kr - AUD$40 - get real! The steak was very tender and for a change had veges other than potato :) The interesting bit was I bought a Budvar Dark beer -500ml stubby - the best beer I've had. Very smooth creamy pilsner. Will try and get a couple to bring home with me. As you all know, beer is not my drink but this was very pleasant, particularly with red meat.

Lunch in Tabor was a trout fillet with veges. I'm learning... ask for veges other than potato and they have to find you some greens... I paid 30Kr for the bowl of brocolli and only 72kr for the fish and vege on the main plate. Interesting to be served grilled fish with gravy, but it actually was very good. I'm guessing it was based on beef with some fish stock. Not sure but tasted good. The fish was a bit 'fishy' but fresh, not over cooked, and no bones. They didn't have the Budvar Dark but tried their Kozel Dark which wasn't bad. Beer is definitely the drink of the masses. In fact the famous Pilsner comes from the next town down the train line...

Sitting in the pub under the Penzion Alfa doing my blogging tonight (Wed) and had two glasses of local Moravian white wine. Needed a break from the beer. Whoa! She's sweet! Like drinking lolly water. Forgot these guys are heavily influenced by Germany. Sweet, fruity wine. Not as sticky as a Moscato but sweeter than a modern Australian Moselle. In fact couldn't finish the 2nd glass over a four hour period... My host though is such a lovely lady. They don't do dinner but she made me a toasted sandwich and also helped me find the bus timetable for my Thursday adventure... smoke withstanding, I thoroughly recommend this B&B :)
