Christmas in Slovakia: The Carp

More to come on Christmas in Slovakia, but for now something AMAZING you would never know unless you were here during the holidays. You're welcome!

Well, was walking home from the store the other night and saw this just along the street like it's normal...


What's happening you ask? WELL These lovely gentleman caught a bunch of carp in the river, then bring it over and fill up these buckets with water and let them swim around in there. When you buy one, you keep it alive and take it home to do this:


Yeah thats right, to swim in your bathtub for a few days to "get the toxins out" since they're bottom feeders. Then you kill it and eat it for Christmas dinner.

I AM NOT LYING!!!

All of this verified by my Slovak colleges! Amazing!

Merry Christmas from Slovakia!
