Eat and drink the Czech way

Learn to prepare those delightful miniature sandwiches called chlebíčky (kle-bitch-ki).

Set the table, make sure there's a place for everyone. Don't forget the wine glasses.

Because there will always be that one bottle of red wine. Or two. Or three. Or more.

And a gentleman who's there to pour it out for you. Don't forget to say děkuji (thank you).

Sit back, relax with your colleagues... Who knows until when you'll be working with them?

And just enjoy the meal. Forget work, be ready to sit and talk for a minimum of two hours.

Once in awhile, have lunch at the home of colleagues: that's goulash in the pot. Yum!

And then some coffee and home-made dessert. Forget whatever diet it is you're on.

Always the best way to end the day: with a glass of wine. (See the big smiles) Na zdraví!
