Czech shopping

The Czech shop I wrote about in my last post - Halusky, in East Sheen (or Mortlake - not too sure about southwest London geography) - was small, and rather sparsely stocked due to the snowy weather when we arrived. In spite of that, we still managed to stock up on everything we wanted: a load of Czech dried goods (ie. beer and dumpling flour), frozen knedlicky dumplings and Slovakian chocolate bars. It was quite impressive: from the outside, Halusky looked like a regular newsagent's, but inside everything, even the shelf-edge labels, were in Czech or Slovak.

It got me thinking about the trip I made to Prague and Bohemia in the summer. Prague has an amazing cafe life, and my favourite one was Slavia, for its deco perfection - see below! -closely followed by the Cubist Cafe.
