Cultural discovery through Trdelník
Trdelník opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The hearty and deeply savoury flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively.

First time trying Trdelník — completely converted

Honest verdict on Trdelník — good but not exceptional
