Masopust

Carnival is celebrated in many countries – and the Czech Republic is no exception. Here it is called masopust which literally means ‘goodbye to meat’  and it is traditionally celebrated with plenty of feasting. Pork is the universal dish and many Prague restaurants honour the season with special pork dishes.
