26 August 2011





We hopped on our bikes today to take a tour of the surrounding towns. The first stop was MutÄ›jovice about 3km away. We had a beer at a small pub that had a slight hint of banana to it. Apparently, there’s no name for this beer as it’s brewed in the small village. Each batch tastes a little bit different. We headed out of town and through some hills, a forest and around the corner to another small village. We visited some family of Josef’s. How exactly they’re related, I’m not sure. We got out of the heat for a while and Josef talked about New Zealand and a few other things I can only guess at. We had another beer and some food that was nicely offered by the wife. It seems that families live in units with the grandparents living with their children and grandchildren. It was a nice house and there were numerous happy children milling about and playing in the small pool they had in the back yard. After that we headed home.

I decided that I wanted to go find some more of these big mushrooms because I wanted to have some schnitzel. The place where we found the other mushrooms had at least one more that was too small for us to take that day, and I headed up the hill alone to see if it was still there. Luck! It was still there and I found another one that was even bigger! These mushrooms are amazing because they’re very soft, yet hardy enough to withstand schnitzeling. When you taste them raw, they taste like they’ve been laced with oregano. Absolutely amazing!

They’re even better as schnitzel!

Josef tells me that there are other mushrooms that taste like chicken!

Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
