Talk:Tlačenka

It is served with...

"It is served with raw onions, rye bread, vinegar, mustard or smoked sausages." Yea it is probably served occasionally with an array of weird crap. So technically this sentence might be true but in the context how it´s put it can be considered as a complete misinformation. Tlačenka is usually served with onion, yes, vinegar, sadly, very often, although noted should be that vinegar is only an alternative to lemon (as in many of its culinary uses). Mustard - I have never seen this but somehow in the context of Czech cuisine it somehow really does not surprise me and it would not spark much of discontent. But! Rye bread? Smoked sausages? In what universe? Maybe on a table full of food of such kind where these two happen to be as well but then you´d have to mention the rest of the 100 options. Smoked sausages are a food on its own but not as much as tlačenka is. Tlačenka is served on it´s own only being basically seasoned with stuff like a onion, lemon, or if mustard must be, so be it. Not another independent, meat product. And bread. Rye bread is not too alien to Czech cuisine but it is somewhat neglected and, specifically on the contrary to for example Germanic cuisines, it does not have a specific role in the Czech (doubt Slovak too, but not sure) cuisine. It is used little, not too rare, but it has virtually zero attention. Near to no dish is served distinctly with rye bread, it just happens to be the choice of the bread if the server or customer chooses so or if the bakery just happens to offer it. Also Czech rye bread is much less distinctive to a common wheat bread and you might not even recognize it at the first sight. The usual choice to go is wheat or wheat-rye bread with wheat content at least 50%, usually though 75% and more. A standard bread to be served with tlačenka is some basic one and that is usually just wheat bread. So please, just because some two villages try to take a pride in something and have nothing better but proclaim serving tlačenka with rye bread specifically, do not feel the need to adjust the wikipedia article to that only. Or better, at all. Same with the smoked sausage, it probably comes from the cases when an array of meat products are served cold, sliced in small pieces for people to pick as a snack. That´s the only way you serve these two together. Please either consider that, or at least either rather plain translate what Czech or Slovak wiki article says about it (not perfect but much safer bet on the reality) or even rather do not write misinformation at all. Just because some random American-Slovak blogger wrote something, does not make it acceptable to be THE source for a wiki page. Or at least I would like to hope. 31.30.167.62 (talk) 08:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
