Czech

cousine

Czech cousine is very fatty. It is typical for the Czech people if you visit your friends to go home surfeited.

Especially old people think the full stomach means you are satisfied.

In the past people were

often poor and hungry. If you were fat, you

had a lot of food and were rich.
