Slovak cuisine • Slovak cuisine is unique. True Slovak food and recipes are really only available in Slovakia itself, all other versions are not really authentic. Slovak cuisine was greatly influenced by the food of two neighbouring countries - Hungary and Austria and to add to the spice of life, the dishes vary from one region to the next. • The Slovak dishes use items such as pork, poultry, cabbage, wheat and potato flour, cheese from cows and sheep, potatoes, onions and garlic. Beans, corn on the cob, lentils, parsley, carrots and other vegetables are often used to create soup dishes and other dishes in all Slovakia. • Pork, beef and chicken are the three most popular meats used in Slovakian food. Lamb, duck or goose are not quite so popular in Slovakia.
Eatinghabits in Slovakia • Most Slovaks eat breakfast very early and tuck into different types of Slovakian bread with butter, ham, cheese, boiled or fried eggs, salami, vegetables, sausages and either jam or honey to round the meal off. • Some people prefer cereals of various choices or yoghurt. The main meal of the day is lunch, eaten at about mid-day. • Many restaurants in Slovakia offer a daily menu where there is a choice between dishes served between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. • A typical Slovakian lunch consists of soup and the main course. The main course is usually meat, pasta or a sweet dish.
