Pairing Svíčková correctly — a note on slivovitz plum brandy

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Svíčková. I ordered it with slivovitz plum brandy and the malty from beer braises elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. caraway in particular became more prominent in a good way.

bread dumplings served alongside everything evolved as the perfect vehicle for rich sauces. The a ski resort lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Svíčková with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
