Nowadays, everyone and their uncle shreds this, slathers it in sickly sweet BBQ sauce or bitter vinegar and calls it "pulled pork", as though it's a great American invention. In reality, it's basic European peasant cooking from centuries ago, and it is sublime, as is.
I always used to spend New Year's Eve at either an opera or a ballet. I'm not so much into parties. I accidentally saw Swan Lake twice, but I'm not complaining lol
The food looked simple, but rich and cooked well. Delicious! What a beautiful way to spend a few days :)
😂😂😂😂typical about the bloke sitting straight in front of you .The mind boggles 😂😂
My mouth was watering all the way through. Very nice indeed🤩👏❤️🙏🏼😜👍
I am insanely jealous!!😂😂😂😂 I'm slumming it in a Premier Inn tonight, and the closest thing I'll get to that pork is the bag of scratchings I have in my bag!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great content thank you
😂As per my post on the last video, in 89, we spent 24 hours on a bone shaker coach going across Europe only to find our host had booked a puppet theatre version of Don giovanni by Mozart on arrival. Suffice to say until the rousing "Don giovanni" chorus every 15 minutes we were all sond asleep. Happy memories and great food DJ keep up the good work DJ.❤
Great vlog Darren 👍 I think it's nice to talk to people when you are out and about . Rachael and I met a lovely couple from Switzerland in Liverpool one night who asked if they could sit on our massive table in a pub chain that did food. We had a great conversation with them, they were in their late 60's and had travelled over for a Beatles orchestra concert. I wish I'd have done my research before arriving because it was sold out. I would have loved that 😂👍
Schweinehaxe and The Opera / Ballet? I'm in!!
That pork knuckle looked delicious. Next holiday I book for me and the wife will be Prague and eat at that joint ❤
Wow daz tantalising mate 👌
One my favourite audit’s/ reviews especially as we are heading to Prague later this year
Keep up the great work
Awesome! Thank you!
What an absolutely stunning place, and that's before I see the food 🤔🤗👍
The only meat I don’t eat but it looked delicious. I have my favourite in the slow cooker, a leg of lamb which began smothered in English mustard - you would love it.
Your surprise ending…… I was ready to cover my eyes. I was half expecting a tiny glance of a red light district. I know, shame on me!!
OK Darren, dedication to the cause 😊 Later the same day.The bright sunlight early in the day showed the bar oh so well,but at night the interior lighting. Twinkling light& shade fantastic. Your lunchtime garnish with the sausages was sliced peppers, evening chillies 😮Any reason? The Pork Knuckle 😊😊 slow cooked it may have been, but the moist meat,succulent, juicy fell away from the bones. A personal preference, regarding the crackling. If they could remove it then blast heat it,just so you get the crunch 😊 on the side. Pork 'n' chips. Magic ❤ Solo dining, by choice. I may let you into my space 😮 I may not. Just let me enjoy my meal. And should I be filming for a vlog, as long as I treat you with curtesy and don't disturb you Chill😊 Live entertainment, cultural enjoyment can't be beat😊( even when a moron sits in front of you 😢) And what a setting ❤ Watching the last 2 videos, in a cold, wet, end of February in London.Shows how important it is to make memories,and keep your soul afloat in a happy place. Thank you Darren. Allan&Family
Well you went up a notch in my book, going to that cultural experience was excellent. It was an interesting concept seeing the orchestra on stage. How can you eat so much🤣the starter would fill me up, I’d have a dessert . Beautiful place sells itself. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pork looks exceptional:)
Thanks for sharing this last day in Prague what a wonderful time and the outstanding food. Have to say again the walkabouts were a pleasure to see.
Nothing wrong with guys going to ballet-Opera! Like you said, its about the experience.
My friend has invited me to a "friends rehearsal" for Swan Lake at The Royal Opera House ......
Will be my 1st time for ballet-opera show, & I can't wait.
What an amazing venue, your show was in.
A perfect way to spend your last day & evening in Prague!
Lizzie 👌🤗🥰
Used to live in Prague "Praha" in 1996. It was (and still looks to be a beautiful city."
I loved the restaurants and Czech food. I lived in the Eastern part of the city. It was well outside the city center. My friend and I really enjoyed seeking local hidden gem restaurants where the locals ate. The food and atmosphere was absolutely wonderful.
Darren that looked different level 😜👏
loved it silver fox😘
Life is a series of experiences. If you don't take advantage of them you can't say you have lived. Too many people stick to what they know and would never consider going to an opera or the ballet or a play or a museum or a myriad of things. Nobody using this keyboard is going to call you a wuss.
That always happens to me Darren. Everytime I go to something I take my seat and think I have a great view and just before the thing starts, the tallest person at the venue with a head like a planet always sits directly in front of me 😡
Food looked outstanding quality.
bloody hell, salivating looking at that pork!! hoping to be back in Prague this year - visit will be in order
Prague looked beautiful and the food absolutely delicious.
No, we don't really engage with people when we're out, personal choice.
Beautiful place and what a feast Darren! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Prague is absolutely amazing
Krykie, my mouths watering. Brilliant!😋😉
I saw a Stephen Fry show at The Palladium a couple of years ago. And the family behind me started to proceed to unwrap sweets, with all the rustling of plastic and foil. I had to turn round and tell the father off of the family. Who are these people!😡
Great looking food BTW
Well another excellent vlog .what a gorgeous meal and a lovely evening with a great show, perfect .life is exciting with new experiences . Making the most wherever or whatever you are doing . X
Important to make memories
What an amazing way to end your trip. Every year without fail i watch the new year's day concert from Vienna and dream of being there sadly i never will due to healt. Theatre, Ballet, Opera is for everyone to enjoy young old regardless and no one should be embarrassed about going to watch these talented athletes, musicians and actors.Thanks for sharing.
what great entertainment at the end too - its not being a Girls Blouse DJ its cultured entertainment - the older I get the broader my appreciation of all the Arts gets.
Oh my Darren, think you should’ve ditched the starter, what huge portions!!
Lovely bit of shank end shoulder of pork!
What a great place!
Great vlog as usual!👍👏👏👏❤️
Good man Darren.
I was looking forward to this when you said you’d booked to go back 😊
Indeed
I always watch your videos to the end, but my word that was worth waiting for. The pork looked yummy, I'm glad you went back although i don't remember you having a bad meal, i loved the train delivery .🙂. Thanks for sharing. Take care. 😘
An amazing place to visit
Darren, this Prague getsway trip sounds like it worked out to be an amazing break and a great personal experience.
I would love to try the genuine, proper sausage "schnitzel"and within the majestic setting of the old "Bohemia"/ Austro Hungarian Empire. Ive had goulash in Budapest Hungary. Their goulash there was lovely.
I see youve gone for the Hendricks again to wash it down. Good choice.
The place itself actually looked lovely. They were unbelievably high ceilings in that particular Old Prague establishment. It seemed to have a majestic and authentic character. It nust be why it was so popular.
Your meat looked lovely, succulent and tender. It seemed to fall off your fork so easily it must have been amazing to actually eat . To be fair, It did look like it was mouth-watering . So good.
I dont think you needed a dessert with such a portion as the one they gave you.
That man who sat right in front of you at the ballet... Wow, Some people really are obnoxious. That was unbelievable.
I know you are not about negativity on your channel and dont want to put a downer on this comment because apart from him and the couple of Southern England snobs sitting next to you in the restaurant, it must have been an amazing, lovely and very memorable evening.
Darren you always give good, quality content in your videos.
Life is often very grey but you help brighten it a little.
Till the next one. 🙂
Great food; great location= great memories.
Always a pleasure Russ
That food looked amazing.😋👍
They sell the mustard in Lidl. Its just called Polish mustard it is fantastic with anything.
Awesome
Darren, the food looked amazing, and the ballet and opera looked good too. Stunning venue too 👍🏽👍🏽
That pork ...... OMG ....... looked like an absolute dream
Absolutely fantastic vlog. My wife and I went to the opera last time in Prague and I have to say I enjoyed it so thanks for taking me there. Now the food Absolutely off the charts. That pork knuckle looked superb. Thanks Darren.
They have a sign for Staropramen beer which I was involved in promoting a couple of years ago and its excellent.
My late wife and I would both agree with you about having strangers, or even people we knew, wanting to chat when at a restaurant. If we'd wanted company when out together we would have invited them in the first place. Now that I'm alone I love eating out by myself. Whenever possible I'll choose a table far from the madding crowd. Gorgeous setting, this one, by the way.
Agree.. I like to feed away from the masses as does my wife .. but she is shy anyway x
Very true it’s the experience !! Great video .
In Hungary it’s Csülök, the same slow cooked pork knuckle and it’s sublime. Some onions and potatoes and you’re good.
"And I'm gonna have chips as well" you can take the man out of england, but you can't take the english out the man
Haha 😂
Looked perfect, and a perfect end to your day
Looked so good, DJ.
Omg, what a dinner and a half!
The pork looked delicious....any crackling lovers are in for a treat!
Definitely feel full & satisfied after that food.
Great place, thanks for another great video DJ.
Lizzie 👌🤗🥰
🙂🙏🏼👍🏼
That pork shank was superb,but needed red cabbage,or sauerkraut,chips to greasy to go with that.I know you like Hendricks,I do to,but had a gin which I think was called Irish Gunpowder Gin,and it was delicious,with Fevertree tonic.See if you can find it,it’s worth a try.
I find English mustard a touch on the bitter side, my favourite is Dijon nice and light with a lovely bite. As a pork lover that was more a joint than a knuckle but it looked delicious
Looks awesome. Def wanna go there. 👍 ❤ as always
That meal was exceptional.
Great vlog DJ 👍Although I’ve gotta stop watching these before bedtime - as i fancy a sausage sandwich now! I went to my first ballet with the missus recently; The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House and loved it.
The building at the end was beautiful! I found Americans to be very engaging no matter where in the world!
My favourite European city. Excellent video.
Lovely meal Darren but spoilt by the good old frozen chip should been mash ,
OMG yes please , My mum used to cook pork knuckle , guess it was cheap back in the 70's lol. the look on your face took me way back then
Oooh liked already . As u know ur one of my favs 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
WOW, that looked sensational…I am so glad I was eating at the time of watching this 😊 yes always…..even just a smile or a nod of acknowledgment goes a long long way, and if you end up chatting then so be it ❤ Just rude some people. Always nice to say good morning to folk as you walk past too…..especially on holiday
I have been to that restaurant, lovely food/drinks!
As for the Ballet/Opera- who cares if people do call you a wuss or whatever for seeing it-it brings joy to millions of people around the world!
I have seen a few Ballets/Operas over the years but mainly been to musicals, plays, magic shows etc.
I remember when I was in Primary School if I liked boy bands like New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Big Fun etc it was fine. Soon as I got to Secondary school I had to be gay to like boy bands-it bothered me for a bit but after a while I thought I don't get a toss- I love all kinds of music!
6:45 OPM London Canary Wharf your favourite area - Hello Darren Sir. Pork Knuckles at Prague were amazing...and then that 5 storey massive disco by the Charles Bridge. London has lost its magic
Bloomin H. I couldn't finish the first course let alone the pork knuckle. I once had a huge knuckle in Brussels. Had to ask the waitress to wrap it for me so I could take the uneaten meat back home to Paris 👍
Hi Darren, I can see why you went back there to eat, the food looked amazing and so did the bar a beautiful place , we went to a ballet years ago for the first time and really enjoyed it
I love going all out when i'm visiting places Dave
that grub looks dbomb..great vid as normal..love the music too..jaysus that joint is off the charts as a lad once said..
So what’s one up from ‘Off The Charts’ then DJ? Cos this absolutely was!! That pork!! Delicious. Prague looks so delicately beautiful. One of my favourite posts from you for sure DJ. Can’t wait for more cities and travels from you … loving this new channel! 👊🏻🍖🍽️🩰🎼🚎
I think there will be many more city breaks to come
Oh boy, that pork looked superb. My favourite meat and that had my mouth watering. What a classy way to end an amazing visit to Prague. Stunning theatre. Did you enjoy the opera/ballet.
Ham hock, cheapest but best pork/crackling.Our local butcher cooks them fresh everyday..£3 each...👌👌..
Regarding the people on the table next to you,to be honest Darren,i would find it quite strange if someone sat nxt to me and my missus in a restaurant with a camera in front of him filming himself eating and talking lol...its not the norm shall we say..
Loved Prague when I went the goulash and dumplings were amazing when I went love your vlogs trying Czech cuisine mate 👌
I am not a big fan of pork but that does look delicious 😋 Pity about the concept with that man , sat in front of you 😡Thanks DJ 🤗👍
Excellent as per. That pork looked out of this world. As for the ending, Bravo!
🙏🏼🙂👍🏼
@DJ, not sure how I missed this one but popped up in my YT today 16.04.2024. BLIMEY, Darren, 4 sausages for your starter, I would have not had that and just concentrated on the main which looked SUPERB.
awesome vlog
Glad you liked it
Looks fab...that pork!! 👌wow
The perfect ending to a superb 4 days in Prague. The meals looked delicious and I love the architecture too. Super video sweet .Thank you for sharing xx 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
@@DJsFoodTravels you're very welcome. Thank you for sharing your memories with us xx ☺️
@@DJsFoodTravels Hey up mate I thought the same, by the way if you have Lidl near you try their Dijon only cheap but nice taste with a bit ov heat about it, top set ov video's have always fancied going to Prague
I went to see the classical spectacular in Manchester with live cannons and muskets lazers fireworks and I looked at the programme and thought apart from a few I thought I didn't know the other tunes first tune was the fruit and nut advert 😂 I knew them all just not the names
Wow…that was a lot of meat that you ate!
But, it sure looked delicious!!!
Quality ❤🤩😜🙏🏼
Hi Gary Watched all your Prague vids and all really entertaining, thank you. We are now planning on going to Prague in the near future. watch all your other vids as well.
I think you'll find his name is Darren, you can always edit or delete your comment if you wish with those 3 little dots to the right of your comment 👍
Gary?
Superb vlog Darren. What a most enjoyable evening you must have had. 👏👍
Absolutely amazing - feeling blessed
See you liked that DJ, the snitzel looked amazing
I tend to engage with others but I'm socially intelligent enough to know when to stop or if others don't want to talk.
Me too - I just didn't feel the need for rolling of eyes
Ooooh, that pork knuckle looked delicious. Made me salivate. 😆
Great info as I am planning to head over there myself for a few days, pork looked amazing but I think I will give the opera and ballet a miss.😂😂
In the future when you win the lottery D.J. any chance you can go over to Germany to check out some sausages and pork knuckle over there mate ? Amazing old buildings too I reckon it would be right up your street.
Heavens DJ, where do put it😂😂 looks fantastic. 🇿🇼
Darren this is unfair now, I'm starving 😂
Office lads we had Absinthe sessions - Disaster then off to near the Karlovy Lazne - Nightclub 5 floors!!! Need 30 colleagues not alone!! Not into Ballet , but love Romeo and Juliet
looked amazing you do not have to tell us your love of good food shows on your face
First class 👍
Well.....there's me having a yoghurt for breakfast, and then watch this food video, mate,,,,that is food porn of the highest quality,made my belly rumble when you bit into that crackling......right up my strasse,, keep up the great work !
That pork knuckle looked legit.
Dj the gaff clearly loves mustard, horseradish and pickles as they serve it with everything
Nothing like a bit of culture,
I play a game. I make people talk to me wether they like it or not 😂😂😂
I stayed to the end. Glad I did.
The crispy outer fat looks good. Heart attack
Oh my that pork was superb.Sometimes engage with other people depends.👍
