A slice of veka smeared with butter or cheese, topped with egg, ham, cucumber and a piece of pepper? The classic ham sandwich is passé. Schnitzel is a hit in the Czech Republic! Who invented the specialty?
People refer to the delicacy offered at Bufet-Linecká in Český Krumlov as the food of the gods or the holy grail. A flatbread on an honest steak introduces some consumers to a gastronomic paradise. “It’s actually like a Christmas dinner. Steak with salad decorated with ham and egg. We sell it for 70 crowns for about half a year. Interest continues to rise. We also take phone orders. People ask, they drive all the way from České Budějovice for them,” said the company’s co-owner Tereza Kořánová. How did you think of preparing such a specialty? “My brother-in-law is from Mariánské Lázně and he learned in the delicatessen where this sandwich was once sold. He went there for practice,” Kořánová explained.
We also prepare it with belly and tartare
In Planá near Mariánské Lázně in Lahůdky Dymáček they went even further. They offer not only fairly wrapped and fried flounder with potato salad, which they produce 200 pieces a day. A dish for 45 kroner is a bargain even here. Therefore, the owner recently innovated the schnitzel sandwich. “Once I got a taste for steak with tartare and pork belly. We tried to make it. We and the clients liked it, so we sell it. I’ve been mixing and grinding my own tartare for many years,” says Radek Dymáček. Bread for carnivores does not have a special name, but you can buy it for 75 crowns.
The tracks lead to Mariánské Lázně
As Blesk managed to find out, schnitzel sandwich is not a recent novelty. It used to be offered to spa guests by the famous food and delicacies U Linhart in Mariánské Lázně. Radek Dymáček from Planá acquired the legendary shop six years ago. He continued an almost forgotten tradition and renewed the production of this delicacy. There was also another witness at Linhart’s practice who revealed the author of the idea. “At the time, the head of training was a Mr. Král, and we prepared spa sandwiches with him,” confirmed Lightning.
