Trdelnik: Why tourists love it and locals hate it

Visit a trdelnik store in Prague.

Observe that the dessert is made fresh to order using firm yeast dough coated with plenty of sugar.

Fill the trdelnik with various options such as strawberry, vanilla, yogurt, Strudel, chocolate, and top it with ice cream or whipped cream.

Note that the classic unadorned trdelnik costs around 100 Czech crowns (about 4 euros).

Discuss the origins of trdelnik, noting that it actually comes from Skalica, Slovakia, and has been baked there since the early 19th century.

Mention that the first street food stalls selling trdelnik in Prague appeared in the 2000s.
