Bleak. A small, elongated, white-fleshed fish, abundant in lakes and quiet waterways. Its scales, which are thin and silvery, come away easily. The flesh of the pond bleak is of poor quality, but that of the river variety is fairly good, although it is full of little bones. It is about 15 cm (6 inches) long and invariably served fried.
These griddled flatbreads should remain soft rather than crisp, hence the name lefser, or soft cake. They are made with potatoes and flour, cream and lard and sugar. They can be eaten hot or cold.
