6 Most Authentic Dishes to Try in SLOVAKIA | Food Tour

[@melissab3217]

The food looks amazing! My paternal grandfather's family came to the U.S. from Trstin, a small village near Trnava, Slovakia. I am looking forward to doing a trip there someday and eating all of these dishes!

[@Peregrination]

That trip will be amazing!

2:28 The cream you are talking about is probably the sheep cheese called bryndza, it is a creamy cheese, not like the yellow cheese on top of your dish. Bryndza cheese is actually one of the helthiest foods you can get, it's full of probiotics and very good for your gut. 🙂 And the sauerkraut soup kapustnica is a traditional Christmas soup. Yum. All of your food looked so good, nice to see that you liked it.

[@legallytired110]

It tastes great too

[@kbst8411]

Bryndza is awesome. Had bryndzove pirohy two days ago in BL. Now I'm 500km away and have to wait a few months. :( Also bought lots of Horalky and Vinea. :)

[@nohjuan3048]

Try hlusky with braised cabbage on the side! Yum!

[@kbst8411]

Except for Slovak, Czech and a few people who are really into Slovakia really nobody is able to pronounce Kosice correctly. :D

[@TeresaSvk]

They would be able, if they only search for the pronounciation....from a french native, i get it, but from a youtuber? Cmon...

[@bobovoxar9296]

all this mess with pronoucietion starts on Luton airport ... like Versace kind of ... Ko-shi-tse ... and all about this "winegard" ... this is natural acids by fermentation of cabbage ... full of C-vitamina , probiotic and antiseptic to mouth by latest scientific reviews

[@EddyWebber]

I’ve never heard about fried bryndza and I’m Slovák. I’ll give it a try ;)

[@_jacobtaylor]

Potato pancakes were my favorite!

[@Peregrination]

The mashed potato fry!

[@KrakenIsMahB]

Loved that you tried some varieties in haluskaren, traditional cheese halusky are everywhere, but not everyone knows spinach halusky (although i love them just with cheese cream and garlic) and sour halusky were actually more common, since in the old times, cheese was a extra premium product, not too common among common people. If you found sourkraft soup stingy, then I have good news for you, you found the right restaurant. It is actually considered very healthy and mark of a good product to have sourkraft reaaalllllyy sour, since it contains a lot of vitamin C, unlike vinegar. And fried cheese with fries is common fast food here :) it may come in 3 cheese varieties too, one is basic, which doesnt have much flavour, still tasty, Camembert, which really flows easily when fried, and some places serve even fried blue cheese, in this area commonly known as Niva cheese.

[@bobberes7155]

Your friend is Slovak, there is no such word Slovakian.

[@janaelizabethsekelski]

Hey guys, you have tasted the best meal that I love the most and "bryndza salt sheep cheese" is Slovak speciality...its like aphrodisiac and cancer protect they say. Poppy cakes or pasta you should try too. The prices are much more higher now but you know...the best is homemade kitchen 😉

[@matof1428]

The main boulevard in Košice is probably not the cheapest place in Slovakia, but for Western tourists the local prices are still quite low. And the quality and level of services in local businesses is, in my opinion, above the average in Slovakia. It's worth it.

[@jordanbazunu4674]

We dont have boulevards in kosice

[@vandrujemesk8651]

Bramboráky, zemiakové placky, haruľa, zemiaková baba - these are all names for the same dish of potato pancakes. They are made from raw potatoes. Basic recipe: grate raw potatoes, salt and let stand for a while. Squeeze out the excess water and pour it out. Then add the whole egg, black pepper, marjoram. Add salt if necessary. Someone adds bacon to finely chopped, onion, salami. Finally, add smooth (finely ground) wheat flour so that it becomes a relatively thin dough. Heat the pan and grease with the best pork. Take a larger spoon and put in a pan and grind thinly. Roast on both sides.

[@adrianelittle3759]

Kapustnica is mostly served at Christmas time, many variations throughout the regions of Slovakia.

[@humanishdevil6173]

Dating a slovakian, made me watch a bunch of videos about slovakia. Like really, all of it. Also that mv of lil ash 👁👄👁

[@Peregrination]

It is so fun!

[@DEMONRaziel]

Cool vid. Hope you enjoyed your stay in our lovely city.

[@Peregrination]

Thanks! 😃

[@DEMONRaziel]

​@@Peregrination You didn't confirm, nor deny, so I'm gonna assume you DID enjoy our stay :D Btw, as far as foods are concerned: - the sauerkraut soup is a traditional Christmas soup, it's not the kind of soup one would eat too often (a chicken or beef broth would probably be the soup to pick, if you were looking for a "fancy" soup around here) - the "bryndza" cheese (the thingie you compared to blue cheese in the 2nd restaurant) is actually THE Slovak food (patented, actually) and the absolutely flagship Slovakian Nation Food is Halushky with Bryndza (and Bacon); the Spinach dumplings thingie is not a traditional food, it's a modern twist on the traditional recipe - "bryndza" itself can be serverd in many differnt ways - with (actually "on") Halushky, on bread, or fried... any way you do it, it retains the strong flavour and scent that you experienced in the 2nd restaurant - the 1st beer you drank (and enjoyed more for some reason) is actually Slovak, the 2nd one is Czech (that is Staropramen - Czech beers are usually considered better than Slovak, though Staropramen isn't actually the best of the best) - This is a genuine question: is the fried cheese with french fries unique to Slovakia? Or the CE region? If that is the case, I never knew... It is very common and popular around here, but I never considered it a national food and though it was widespread. - it's rather surprising how heavily potato-centric our cuisine is, considering potatoes only got here in the 17th century PS: Keep up the vids and happy trails!

[@ZackBackpackingAroundTheWorld]

I’m going to Bratislava next month. Can’t wait to try some of the dishes for sure.

[@Kojotous007]

Mate i am sure you will find all of these foods in Bratislava, but problem is this kind of foods (for examply "Halusky", "Domace klobasa" are not really freshly made directly in restaurants (they most likely purchase in supermarket frozen already premade goods). Its like in every capital city...price is much higher, but quality far from perfect. True home-made tasty classic slovak food are served mostly in restaurants nearby Tatras mountains. In Bratislava you better search for hight quality restaurant to make sure you wont get frozen shit from Tesco (in this case be prepared for 15+ euros for meal). Good luck and if you have any question, feel free to ask me...i was born in Bratislava :-)

[@ZackBackpackingAroundTheWorld]

Radko Strasiftak thanks mate. I’m only spending two days in Bratislava. Trying to shove as much as I can into a 2 week trip. So probably won’t have too much time to try everything, but any of those potato pancake dishes I’m definitely down for.

[@balk0vic]

@@Kojotous007 Actually, we have good regional food in Bratislava. Probably you can get good halušky here in some restaurants, but mostly not, because it is northern cusine. We have very good goulash, perky, buchty, gomboce, szekely goulash, wienerschnitzel with potato salad, duck with "lokše", langoše, bread with lard and onions, fish foods, great local wines. Most of these foods actually suck in northern slovakia eg. "Tatra moutains". They have their own good things

[@richardsingh5827]

I like Kosice

[@peto1986]

Actually in Slovakia you can even buy sauerkraut juice in supermarkets. People drink it because it's very healthy, full of probiotics and vitamins. Same fermented sheep cheese (bryndza) originally from non-pasteurized milk (that's why we can't sell it to other EU countries this way) Btw the first fried cheese you tried wasn't sheep bryndza but looks like "syrecky" originated from Olomouc Czech republic. They have strong smell and bitter taste. It's the only cheese with almost zero fat content, full of protein, which means you can eat it every day without gaining pounds!

Zlatý Bažant is not a local brewery, it is Heineken in disguise :) Anyway, easy and very likable beer. And sauerkraut soup is christmas food, we don't eat it often. Apparently you didn't have good one, it is not supposed to make your jaw hurt. Your choice of food was rather strange, but I like your attitude.

[@juliegogola4647]

I am mostly Slovak/Hungarian but born in the USA, and my Grandma only made stuffed cabbage as a Slovak dish. My mom makes Halushki and she uses Egg noodles, blue cheese, cottage cheese and onions in it, I THINK that is no way how it would be made in Slovakia or Hungary. I am saying this BEFORE seeing your video, okay, NOW, I will watch your video. Okay, so maybe there are MANY different types of Hlusky? Keilbasa is a big thing that my Grandma used to make and we still eat here at home, sourkraut is great with it also. I know that Tartar sauce in Sweden is NOT exactly like USA version of tartar sauce, BUT, what it is like in Slovakia, I have NO idea. I've heard that in Hungary they use Paprika on and in everything, BUT, the Paprika we get here in the US is very bland, so, I have no idea how it is IF you get Paprika in Slovakia or Hungary.

[@DEMONRaziel]

Hi Julie. Halushky made in the "correct"/original way should not have eggs in them. Potatoes, flour and salt are the only ingredients of the dumplings. Then you add "bryndza" (a high quality sheep cheese product that is probably not available outside of Central Europe) and bacon for flavor, to get the actual national dish of Slovakia (Halušky with bryndza). Of course the restaurant they visited, that actually specializes in foods based on the original Halushky recepture, but with a twist, has different variations with different ingredients. Hence the spinach dumplings, for example.

[@juliegogola4647]

@@DEMONRaziel What you describe is a Peirogi here, well, you surely have them in Europe also, BUT, I'm pretty sure here our dough has eggs in it though. NO sheep cheese here, unless you go to a specialty store, and I wouldn't know of ANY that sell sheep cheese anyway. Bacon would be a great thing to add to it also. Also, Halushky here has never been made as a "dumpling" just egg noodles with cabbage and cheese maybe some ham or bacon usually ham. My Great Grandma was from the olde country, BUT, she was sickly and didn't cook much, and her daughter my mom';s mom didn't like to cook, so she would just make easy things. My mom used to say "she'd boil everything" about her mother, so, this is all new to me. Thank you BTW.

[@captospinki]

That is very , very far from Halusky, Original Halusky are made from potato dough with plenty of sheep chess (bryndza) and fried smoked bacon

Slovak and Slovakian are both acceptable in English.
