Don’t leave Prague without trying a chimney cake.
You can’t miss the shops that sell them.
The smell of cinnamon will lure you in.
Pastry baked on a metal spit.
First dipped in sugar, cinnamon.
Rotated till brown and flaky.
Filled with anything that suits.
Ice cream.
Apples.
Whipped cream.
Hazelnut cream.
Or, plain, with nothing at all.
Unusual, spicy, sweet.
Chimney cakes, quite a treat.
Intersecting kitchen feat.
Where dessert and breakfast meet!
