Pairing Svíčková correctly — a note on slivovitz plum brandy
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Svíčková. I ordered it with slivovitz plum brandy and the malty from beer braises elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. caraway in particular became more prominent in a good way.
