 ### Food recommendations
-
-Some yays and nays from our local volunteers:
-
-- 👎 Trdelnik is a tourist thing: nothing original or authentic
-- 👎 Pražská šunka (Prague ham) on the street: tourist trap
-- 👍 Try Nakládaný Hermelín (pickled camembert)
-- 👍 Smažený sýr (fried cheese)
-- 👍 Svíčková (meat with vegetable sauce and dumplings)
-- 👍 Guláš (goulash)

+- 👍 **Nakládaný Hermelín**: Pickled camembert
+- 👍 **Smažený sýr**: Fried cheese
+- 👍 **Svíčková**: Meat with vegetable sauce and dumplings
+- 👍 **Guláš**: Classic goulash
 
 #### For veggies/vegans

-According to HappyCow, there are 89 vegan and vegetarian places in Prague. So it should not be an issue to find something. Czech restaurants typically only offer fried cheese and French fries, occasionally including pickled camembert as vegetarian/vegan options, given Czech cuisine's heavy emphasis on meat.
