It is truly a desperate hour. It's disappearing off of shelves faster than it can be replaced. Prices are skyrocketing. People are panicking. Well, mildly complaining anyway. It's nowhere to be found at a reasonable rate. What is it? It's butter. Golden, delicious butter.
There is a nation wide butter shortage here in Czech Republic. Head to your local Billa and prepare to be disappointed. Enter your local Albert and be downcast. You'll be greeted with an empty shelf and a sign that reads:
As a civilized society, what are we expected to do? Use margarine? Why don't we just go back to living in caves and communicating in grunts and gestures.
Luckily the Czech spirit has yet to be crushed, choosing to channel their outrage in memes:
("Cerstve Maslo" means fresh butter.)
The next few weeks here will be taxing on all of us. I feel confident in our ability to persevere though. Buttermageddon 2017 will not keep us from living our lives.
In times of crisis, heroes rise. This time, they'll be butter flavored.
Next Week: A local legend or two!
