Hi Lizzy!

DAH! NO PICKLES??!! I suggest you retract. hahaha
Someday I hope you find a pickle you like!

@carriebwc. My sausage thing comes from some really bad experiences with breakfast sausages and then carried over into other types. I do like dried sausage and italian sausage, but in general it kindof grosses me out.

@anysuchname. I guess I didn't see a place to describe the "foodie foods" I like, but be assured, I like veggies. True, I like some kid foods (Peanut butter and fluff and juice boxes in particular), but they're often the safest things to eat in a college cafeteria! :)

wow, not that everyone has to like ramps, prosciutto, morels and other fancy foodie foods but... no veggies? i mean, i guess lizy looks like a kid so it follows that she would have kid tastes, but i hope that as an intern you try and find some new things you like.

I was guessing SE got new interns when I saw your posts. Wonder who else is interning this summer.

I thought I was reading MY profile! With such similar tastes (literally), I'm looking forward to your posts.

@milkyway; I couldn't even hear One Onion, or whatever he or she or it calls itself. I think it's the consequences of losing, and being part of a tiny minority in a tiny part of the world...they just don't get it.

A Bohemia Bagel breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese on mine, thanks), juice and a cup of coffee make for the perfect start to a day. Well, any day in Prague is a pretty good day, to be honest. But it's better with breakfast. We had our honeymoon in Prague and were a five-minute walk from Bohemia Bagel, so we went a lot.

I only got the burger once, because at about 7 bucks american, its a pretty astonomical price for a meal in prague.
And i do recall similar problems with the burger being overcooked. But i was smart enough to get some shrooms on the sucker...and substituting Biscuits and Gravy for fries was so money...
stick with the breakfast sandwich at Bohemia, and if you need a burger the other expat hangout Jama might be a better stop.

@raymondc: Not sure if this was what Ms. Yagoda intended, but when I read "unaccented English," I thought she meant English sans European/Czech accent -- the people who happened to be speaking it were Americans.

This was an ongoing joke between an old coworker and I when I worked at a drug lab -- we'd use my then bf, who was a tall, broad, dirty blonde all-American looking guy, as the front person in a burger joint in Thailand because it makes it *seem* more authentic to see an American greeting/up front at an American food establishment than any other nationality. My co-worker was a chef in Thailand and we always chitchatted about food and goofy ways to make money.

Well, Oneiron, as a Muslim, those fries can appease me anytime. :D

Hey Lizy! I have not seen the words "Bohemia Bagel" in a while; thank you for that. I studied in Prague in college, but all I really remember are that the muffins go half-price after 4 p.m. or so. Down with tomato water, and long live goulash!

Bohemia bagel, at least in the winter of 2003-2004, did make a very nice hash brown. that's also where i discovered the joy of a bagel and cream cheese with lettuce and tomato on it.

However, i think the reason most expats make their way to bohemia bagel (besides the wireless internet access) is not the bagels themselves; it's because it is one of the few places in prague where you can get a decent cup of American-style coffee.
