Prague ham (Czech: Pražská šunka, German: Prager Schinken) is a type of brine-cured, stewed, and mildly beechwood-smoked boneless ham[1][2] originally from Prague in Bohemia (Czech Republic). When cooked on the bone, it is called šunka od kosti ("ham from the bone"), considered a delicacy.[2] It was first marketed in the 1860s by Antonín Chmel, a pork butcher from Prague's Zvonařka ("Bell-Maker Street") on the Nuselské schody.[1]
It was a popular export during the 1920s and 1930s, to the point that other cultures started copying the recipe and making it domestically. Pražská šunka/Prague ham is registered as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed in the European Union and the UK and can only be produced according to a specified procedure.[3]
As street food
[edit]Prague ham is traditionally served in restaurants and from street vendors with a side of boiled potatoes[4] and often accompanied by Czech beer.[2]
