Roast pork shoulder with bread dumplings and braised sauerkraut. The Czech national plate: caramelised pork, fluffy dumplings to soak up the gravy, sweet-sour sauerkraut.
Pork, dumplings and cabbage became a daily Bohemian meal as Habsburg-era pig farming spread through the countryside in the 18th century. Bread dumplings turned stale rolls into the carbohydrate base; sauerkraut preserved cabbage through winter. The dish became the Czech national plate by the late 19th century and now anchors every pivnice menu, from U Fleku to Lokal. The classic Bohemian sauerkraut here is white (zeli bile), softened with caraway and stock until it reads as sweet-sour rather than pickly. The Moravian version uses red cabbage cooked with apple.
