Today in National taco day in America—yes, there is a holiday just for this traditional Mexican dish. Hailing from Texas, I consider myself somewhat of an expert on this food. Let’s taco ‘bout the three best in Prague—the three amigos—so ex-pats and locals alike can celebrate. Cantina Újezd 42, 118 00 Malá Strana Walking into Cantina is like stepping into a little slice of Mexico. With traditional ponchos, woven tapestries, flags and animal skulls accenting the pale-yellow wall, the festive feel adds charm. The tacos themselves are served in a soft flour tortilla that is slightly grilled for a little crunch. The spicy beans with a hint of bacon mixed with the juicy meat and topped with the creamy cheese fill the tortilla. The guacamole and red salsa are not the stars of the dish but do accent the tacos very nicely. The menu has something for everyone—including frozen margaritas. Las Adelitas With three locations in Prague and scrumptious Mexican food, it is hard to think of an excuse not to go to Las Adelitas. The drinks menu is extensive—nine different types of margaritas, specialty mezcal and tequila, homemade soft drinks, and cocktails and Mexican beer. The tacos are...

Lidl, a German retail store, will gradually reduce the selling of eggs from caged farms. By 2025, caged eggs will be excluded from their supply entirely. Rohlik, an online food retail store, also issued the same statement and will remove caged eggs from their supply by the end of next year. Both statements are direct responses to the Czech Television report in which animal rights activists showed raw video shots of the industrial egg production from caged farms. The footage comes from four large-scale farms: Libnerice, Svinčany farms, Čeperka Drogeria, and Druko Střížkov. They all have either denied the authenticity of the shots or refused to comment. This situation, however, raised awareness regarding the industrial egg production in the Czech market. Tesco, Marks & Spencer, and Konzum have also started to stop the selling of caged eggs in their retail stores. “The decision to abandon the sale of cage eggs goes hand in hand with our drive for high-quality food to be sold. As one of the largest traders on the market, we have a chance to influence the way raw materials are obtained for food,” says Michal Farník, Managing Director of Lidl. “Quality products and assortment are important to customers,...

The European Commission announced it would prohibit dual quality food across the bloc, following complaints and pressure from Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states. The new EU rules ban double quality food products on the markets of EU countries could come into force in January 2020. This is what Commissioner Michaela Šojdrová said. For several years now, the Czech Republic and other Central and Eastern European countries have been warning of the practice of some companies selling mainly food products under the same name but of different. Studies in Eastern European countries have shown that many goods, including washing powder, are of lower quality than the same brand and packaging in older member states. ‘Dual quality’ food has drawn severe criticism from leaders in the EU’s eastern member states. Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov denounced it in July as “food apartheid”, while a Hungarian government official described it as “the biggest scandal of the recent past”. “According to the Commission, the trader’s right to adapt products on the basis of so-called legitimate reasons, such as the availability and seasonality of raw materials and consumer preferences, should still be retained. We must prevent any loopholes that could lead to further frustration among...
