      I have two Egyptian friends use to best European restaurants, they said that even at the most Expensive “best” restaurant in Prague “we left the plates as they were”…

      1. Your comment does not relate to my post nor to the article .
        I don’t know what you meant by “left the plates as they were”.

        If you are talking about food ,Prague has some of the best food in Europe .
        Czech food won several international prizes

          I was thinking of my friends who are accustomed to the best European cuisine,
          they found – “the country that is famous for manufacturing military hardware”-
          infamous for their cuisine..(cynicism).. dumpling, kraut, pork, and dumpling liver soup
          But Prague is second only to Paris

          1. I lived there for years and it took me a year to eat the dumplings , but believe me dumplings, sour krauts and roasted pork are now my favorite meal whenever i go back . This particular dish won the international award in Brussels in 1965.
            Not all dumplings are alike by the way.
            The Czech cuisine is unique in many ways , but you may need to l spend more time there to learn how to appreciate it …I love it.

  3. Now they are using Lebanon to to do their work on behalf of Zionist Jews.America plan to destroy sunni at the time of saddam and now is wrong.Sunni make 80% out of near 2 billion muslims.Many of them will sided sunni or not oppose them.Most muslims will hate and oppose America and the coalition.Hence Isis can,t be difeatead forever.I guess Many muslims will host isis.It is eventually prolong the war for many decades in future.
