Once a great delicacy, today’s youth would NOT BELIEVE that we ate it! It is not only delicious but also very HEALTHY!

This is the classic style of sensational headlines from clickbait portals. Websites that are “in a state of emergency” and offer similar puzzles often attract people to lists of forgotten dishes from the past.

The most common traditional dishes and ingredients that fall under this description include:

Smasť with onion and bread (or cracklings): Once an everyday snack or dinner, today for many young people it is too greasy an idea. At the same time, homemade lard is experiencing a renaissance and honest cracklings are full of energy.
Roasted pig’s brains on onions: Rich in healthy fats and minerals, but often a visually and aesthetically unimaginable dish for the younger generation.

Milk soup / Demicát (brynda soup): Original recipes made from real sheep’s bryndza are incredibly healthy (brynda is a natural probiotic), but milk soups were met with resistance by many children.
Sauerkraut and its juice (potato/cabbage): Sauerkraut is literally a superfood full of vitamin C and probiotics, which grandparents ate daily, but many people avoid it today.

Beef tongue or třišenka / hušpenina: Hušpenina is full of natural collagen, which is extremely healthy for joints, but its jelly-like structure discourages many.
Semolina porridge with butter and cocoa or bread in an egg: Simple classics that are often replaced by protein porridge or avocado toast today.
