Czech-Fat-Pork-Cracklings-Skvarky-1
Czechs love fat, especially chewing the fat, Czech style. Literally. Škvarky translates to lard or pork crackings, and we cook with it and we eat it on bread. Yes, you read that right.

Who else grew up playing with Czech wooden picture cubes? I confess, my wooden picture cubes were the best. I mean, the best of the best.
