Slovak Food 1

JEREMY TAYLOR: WRITER - TEACHER - JUGGLER

Slovak food has a lot in common with its neighbour the Czech Republic, though Slovak food does has some distinct touches of its own - such as bryndzove halusky. My brother Martin described bryndzove halusky as the most unappetising food he has ever seen - though he still managed to eat two plates of it. Have a look at some Slovak food that I have encountered on my travels.
		Talk of the devil, a plate of bryndzove halusky, served up with some spicy salami and a generous dollop of sour cream. Rumours that it is in fact wallpaper paste, are, of course, unfounded.
		A lot of Slovak food is covered with grated eidam. Not easy to tell what is under this pile. It could be pieces of chicken or pork. Increasingly, the salad provided is fresh, rather than coming out of a jar.
		Marks for presentation? A tasty though undoubtedly unhealthy Slovak sausage, served up with a feferoni and some sour cream.
		The mother of all sausages? The slang name for this monster is a 'hurka' sausage but it is also known as jaternice. I found a couple of recipes: http://www.cetakmeats.com/jaternice.asp http://www.iarelative.com/recipe/kiski.htm Hope you enjoy them!
