The Soon To Be, Newest Country?!?! Part 1.

First of all, sorry for the delay. I'm busy a lot and I'm also easily distracted. Second of all, here's the explanation for the title: In May of 2015 a group of people planted a flag between Serbia an Croatia and claimed a new nation, no turmoil, no negotiations, nothing. This tiny micronation was titled Liberland and ever since its creation, its population has been growing ever since and is today at 250,000 people. With almost full UN recognition and a constitution in the makings, Liberland is going to be become the youngest nation in history. So I thought this little country was amazing and I got curious and I decided to make a post about it, so withou further a due, I present LIBERLAND!

CUISINE
Liberland's cuisine is that of Croatia, which is Czech cuisine. So Liberland's cuisine consists mainly of schnitzel, the several delicious kinds of pastries, and the endless abyss of meat dishes. One of the most basic dishes is Puding, which is simply just several flavors of custard stacked on layers and typically topped with assorted fruits and served in a cute glass container. Another type of dish is a type of Bruschetta, Obložené chlebíčky. Which I'm not even going to try to pronounce. The toppings of these Czech finger foods can vary from county to county, but here's a list of typical toppings:
 
Instead of marinara: Cream Cheese, Lobster Past, or Italian Potato Salad is used
 
For Toppings: sweet-and-sour pickles, vine-ripened tomato, cooked ham, pepperoni, hardboiled egg (quartered), wedges of brie or camembert, slices of blue cheese or Roquefort, and/or yellow or red pepper sliced into thin strips
 
The Garnish is typically fresh parsley, basil, capers, chives, peas, red paprika, thinly sliced lemon, and/or thinly sliced red onion
 
That took surprisingly less time than I expected to type that all down. Anyways, the last dish is the Czech hot dog. You have no idea how funny I find this. I don't know how to explain this in my own words so I'll just quote Wikipedia:
 
" a street food consisting of boiled or steamed sausage dipped in mustard or ketchup served in a roll with a hole made inside, not in a sliced bun like the common hot dog. It is influenced by German cuisine."
 
That sounds like the kind of stuff Duckin' Donuts would come up with! That was kind of funny, so see you next part!
