Obviously, the menu this week was inspired by Nick’s ancestry.

The customary Czech main course usually consists of meat and a side dish. Most dishes are pork, or beef, mainly served with some kind of sauce. Dumplings are the most common side dish in traditional Czech cuisine. There are two types of dumplings – bread or potato dumplings made of either wheat or potato flour that is boiled as a roll of dough, then cut into slices.

Tonight’s meal name mirrors the traditional Czech main dish named “Svickova” which is pork meat with dumplings and gravy.

As Czechs say before any meal “Dobrou chut!” which can be translated as “I wish you to enjoy your meal!”

First Course: Mushrooms Stuffed with Spinach
Second Course: Pork Roast (Vepoova Peeeni) with Red Cabbage (Eervene Zeli) and Dumplings
Third Course: Apricot Kolache and Strawberry Kolache Cookies

Beverage is not the standard Pilsner from the Czech Republic, but a new Computer-Sciency beer called “Czechvar”. Nick could code a czech var. Haha.
