The cuisine of Slovakia is influenced by the traditional food of its neighbours, such as Hungary, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic1. It is based on staple foods like wheat, potatoes, milk, cheese, pork, sauerkraut and onions.
Some of the most popular Slovak dishes are:
Bryndzové halušky: potato dumplings with sheep’s cheese and bacon. This is the national dish of Slovakia.
Kapustnica: cabbage soup with potatoes, mushrooms, ham and spices. This is a traditional Christmas dish, but also enjoyed throughout the year as a starter.
Vepřo knedlo zelo: pork with bread dumplings and stewed cabbage. This is a hearty and satisfying main course that showcases the Slovak love for meat and dumplings.
Gulášová polievka: goulash soup with beef, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and paprika3. This is a spicy and warming soup that is often cooked over an open fire at sporting events or festivals.
Lokše: thin pancakes made of potato dough and baked on a stove1. They can be eaten plain or with various fillings, such as poppy seeds, jam, cheese or meat.
