| Amazing ice cream found at a stop off the 12 tram |
Zmrzlina is a way of life around here. Just like dead people, there is ice cream on every corner. Cone, cup, shake, you name it, the Czechs love it. The zmrzlina, in my opinion, is the epitome of Czech culture: you stop to enjoy it, and its everywhere. It's actually more similar to gelato than American ice cream, and you really only get a little scoop of it, for the most part. It seems to be just the right amount to freshen up an afternoon, or relax on a bench waiting for the tram.
We went on a hunt for some zmrzlina the other day and came across this beauty. I took the picture because it just looked so delicious and it was. The chocolate syrup is a lot more real chocolate and less artificial sugar, so it tastes a bit more bitter than we're used to. Since then, we've been back quite a few to times to order this delicious treat. It's totally worth the 20 minute tram ride it takes to get there. Since ice cream is probably my favorite food group, steadily tied with pasta, I think I could live a pretty sweet life here in Prague -- no pun intended.
