Preparing the midday meal.
خلفية ثقافية
Sunday lunch is a major family event. It almost always starts with a clear soup (vývar) followed by a main course like schnitzel or roasted meat with potatoes. Lunch is the main meal of the day. Many people have a lighter dinner because the lunch was so substantial. The tradition of a 'warm lunch' is very strong. Eating a cold sandwich for lunch is often seen as insufficient or 'sad'. In villages, the 'obed' was traditionally announced by the church bells at noon.
