Very much in the Czech cuisine dishes from natural meat, milk and dairy products. Especially great Czech love is enjoyed by sour cream and cream.

Fish assortment in Czech cuisine is more modest. As a rule, fish dishes are served cold, with mayonnaise or marinades. Lamb and minced meat are also rare.

Being a representative of Slavic cuisine, Czech cuisine is also full of a variety of snacks and cold dishes. Firstly, it's a lot of vegetable salads. Usually they are seasoned with sour cream or mayonnaise. In this case, the mayonnaise of Czechs is used not only in the preparation of cold appetizers, but for the preparation of soups and second courses.

Canapes are popular with Czechs( small sandwiches).Usually they are served with a variety of sandwich masses, which here are called anointed. The list of the anointing is great. For their preparation I use cheese, aubergines, radish, horseradish, etc. Original decorated canapes are invariably adornments of any table.
