Spice level warning — Nakládaný Hermelin is not what I expected

I underestimated Nakládaný Hermelin. The subtly tangy from pickles description didn't prepare me for the reality. pickled vegetables brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

bread dumplings served alongside everything evolved as the perfect vehicle for rich sauces. The a market square lunch counter setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. svíčková cream sauce cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
