From the mountains in the north to the plains in the south, Slovak cooks traditionally used efficient produce from their gardens and fields and products from animals they raised or tended to. Moreover, there are quite a few regional variations to the traditional dishes, and some regions developed their own dishes not found elsewhere. Of course, the greatest influence is American by way of the potato. With Slovakia’s territory located in the heart of Europe and the lands historically ruled by outside powers, traditional Slovak cuisine is heavily influenced by Hungarian, Austrian, and Czech cuisines, with some Turkish influences. Typical Slovak dishes are simple, filling, comforting, and homey-and they pair well with beer.įor example, the Slovak national dish, bryndzové halušky, is potato-dough gnocchi smothered in salty sheep bryndza cheese, and topped with smoked bacon bits.
