The Masopust season: Pork killing and eating time
Author: Dominik Lukeš Posted: February 5th, 2007
MF DNES Praha - Pravé zabijačkové hody, ale hlavně karnevalové masky a spousta zábavy. Tak vypadal čtvrtý ročník Karlínského masopustu, který odstartoval v sobotu v jednu hodinu po poledni.The time of Masopust, or the pre-lent carnival, (literally, the meat fast, a translation of the carni-val) has come upon us which means a lot of pig slaughtering festivities (zabijačky [lit. killing times]). Of course, the atheist Czechs will go on eating meat all the way through Lent. The Czech Wikipedia lists some of the foods you might take away (výslužka) from a killing time:
Výslužka většinou obsahovala huspeninu [jellied meat], klobásy, jelítka, jitrnice [three types of pork saussages - bratwurst, and black and white pudding], ovar [boiled pork], škvarky [cracklings, greaves - fried pork fat].‹ previous • 156 of 530 • next ›
