Plackovy Festival

Last Saturday, 30th of August, 2014 I was in the traditional Festival of Bukovec, we are speaking about the place more east of the Czech Republic, in the moravian-silesian region that account with a Nature Reserve since 1988 with more than 7,000 hectars and where much of its population is of Polish nationality and speaking the dialect of Silesian Cziescyn.
In this beautiful small town, Bukovec, we were able to enjoy a festival, which attracted not only to neighbors of the Czech Republic but also to various neighbors of Poland and Slovakia in addition, at least, a Spanish woman.
The main attraction of this event are the typical pancakes of the country, particularly in this area, It makes of potato and accompanied by cream, bacon, pork rinds, cheese, or even jam. Prepared by experts (handmade) and cooked on a griddle or fried, then the recipe:
Bramborové Placky:

Ingredients:

- 8 potatoes
- 250 grams of flour
- 1 egg
- salt

- breadcrumbs

Elaboration:
Boil the potatoes until they are tender and leave to cool, preferably until the next day. The potatoes, once cold are crushed and beaten down on the counter, add the flour, egg, salt, thicken with breadcrumbs screened and prepare to the earth, such as potato dumplings. We must work quickly so that the dough does not harden.
Once we have the earth doing this add or we put on the iron back and forth and once on the plate are mounted with jam or with cream and bacon cooking, and so on.

But this event, as always in Czech Republic, it is not only to eat, we could also enjoy the beer, enjoy a market with all kinds' stands, from pottery to children's toys and also different concerts.
The best concert without a doubt, I enjoyed most was of Friš, a group that includes traditional between their instruments the cymbal that you can see from the image, a stringed instrument played with a couple of harnesses and whose root is in the Hungarian gypsy culture.

We also enjoyed a tribute to ABBA, Kristina, a pop singer from Slovakia, Yesterdays, a rock group and up to a DJ. Without a doubt the organization managed catch all kinds of musical styles attracting all kinds of audiences, from families to adolescents and young people, a community atmosphere.
