**Klobása** refers to the variety of grilled sausages that are the heartbeat of Prague's street food scene. The most famous is the **Pražská klobása**, a long, smoky, and slightly spicy sausage grilled over charcoal and served in a crusty bread roll with mustard and horseradish. Variations include the darker, blood-based **Jitrnice** or the spicy **Vinná klobása** (wine sausage) often eaten at Christmas. The trap is buying a lukewarm sausage at a high-traffic stand; instead, look for the stands with the largest crowds and the most active grills, ensuring a hot, snappy casing and a juicy, flavorful interior.
