Poppy Seed Strudel
<p>Poppy seed strudel is a perfect combination of a bittersweet filling made from poppy seed and delicious yeasty dough. This strudel is very common in the Czech and Slovak Republics for any occasion or as a delicious quick snack. While it’s reasonably priced and sold in almost every store there, the only way to enjoy this traditional Czech and Slovak version in the US or Canada is to prepare it at home — plus, homemade tastes more delicious!</p> 2023-01-17 18:00:00 -06003/04/233:00 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -
