Zmrzlina

Filed Under Z 

Well, first, because of the way it is spelled. How can you not love a word that starts with five consonants? I met Zmrzlina in Prague (Praha) in 1972. It is a frozen Italian dessert sold from carts in New Town. Delicious. It is pronounced just like it is spelled.

    I don’t know what is better, the 5 consonants or the fact that two of them are Z!

    I love Zmrzlina! I too found it in Praha! (but in 2007)

    Zmrzlina isn’t a “frozen Italian dessert,” although you might find it marketed that way in Praha. Zmrmlina is just the ordinary Czech word for “ice cream.” Say “dvakrát zmrzlinu, prosím!” (two ice creams, please!).
