'Bryndzové halušky' is Slovak national meal made with potato dumplings and special kind of unpasteurized fermented sheep cheese called 'bryndza'. You will get pieces of fried meaty bacon on top of Bryndzové halušky. Apart from being very tasty and delicious, the bryndza is also extremely healthy. Some scientists suppose it can even prevent cancer and treat allergies. Other typical dishes include the sauerkraut soup (kapustnica, typically eaten on Christmas), plum dumplings, chicken or goose stew with dumplings (paprikas) and Segedin goulash.

Some kinds of bread contains caraway. You may or may not like it!

When you want to prepare food by yourself, you may find it interesting buying in villages:

  • pork and chicken are the norm
  • fruits tend to be seasonal
  • vegetables or salads, seasonal
  • bread (in late hours)

There is a myth that fried cheese is often considered as substitute of meat. That is a long way from the truth. For more information visit www.slovensko.com/about/foodSlovensko. However, a thick fried slice of cheese served with French fries and a salad is a common Slovak dish www.slovakcooking.com/2009/recipes/syr. It is served in most restaurants.
