Prague Christmas Market FoodBrewsta waxes poetic about the questionable offerings on Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square

'Twas the month before Christmas And all throughout Prague Little stands sprang right up With walls made of log  I went to the market On Wenceslas Square But Old Town's is better It's prettier there  They sold lots of trinkets To the tourists' delight But I care not for dolls Or rocks filled with lights  Yet, this fest was festooned With some stands that sell food Not really that cheap Just some of it good  What first caught my eye Was a big roasting ham This was the real deal It didn't come from a can  I wished nothing more Than to have me a slice Then I saw a small sign And it showed quite a price  Should you want such fine food To hold in your hands It costs 90 crowns For each hundred grams Visions of cheaper food Danced in my head So I moved through the crowd For some sweet, sugared bread  One street-fired dessert For those in the know Is a round rolling snack It's called a trdlo  This sweet is not measured By grams or by pounds Each one that you eat Will cost 50 crowns If you like ketchup and cheese On top of fried dough You can visit the stand That's selling langoše  On sausage, on corn cobs On beers you can suck On these you can count If you visit this truck  Hot mead is available Should you so request This honey's got sting It puts hair on your chest  A favorite of many Who come to the square Is mulled wine, called svařák They sell lots of it there  It cost 40 crowns For each plastic cup It can help keep you warm It can help light you up  I'd then seen enough It was high time to flee I jumped on my ride Good old tram 23 Then I thought to myself As I rolled out of sight I don't love Christmas markets But for some, they're alright READERS' COMMENTS • This article was originally posted on Czech Please, a weblog dedicated to the food and drink scene in Prague and beyond |

When i saw what we got i thought 'what a sham',
The guy was unfriendly & offered no bread,
So i jolly well got up & took some instead!"
