If you visit Slovakia, there are a few dishes that you absolutely must try to experience the rich and hearty flavors of Slovak cuisine. First and foremost, you have to try bryndzové halušky. It’s the national dish here, made from soft potato dumplings that are covered in bryndza (a creamy and tangy sheep cheese) and sprinkled with crispy bacon bits. It’s rich, comforting, and full of flavor, and it perfectly represents the heartiness of Slovak food. It’s often served as a main dish, but you can also find it in many Slovak restaurants as a traditional treat. Another dish that’s a true Slovak classic is kapustnica, a savory sauerkraut soup. It’s made with smoked meats like sausage and ham, along with vegetables and spices, and sometimes even a bit of dried mushrooms. It’s perfect for colder months and is often enjoyed during Christmas time, though you’ll find it year-round. For dessert, you should try trdelník, a sweet pastry that’s famous in Slovakia, especially at festivals and markets. It’s made by wrapping dough around a rod, then baking it until golden and crispy. It’s rolled in sugar and nuts and sometimes filled with ice cream or chocolate – it’s a true treat for your taste buds. Also, don’t miss out on lokše, which are thin potato pancakes often served with duck or goose, or sometimes filled with jam or poppy seeds for a sweeter version.

It was a sunny day. Hearing that our local amusement park had reopened after renovations, we were excited to go. Our enthusiasm quickly faded, though. After what felt like endless loops around the parking lot, Mom still couldn't find a single space. Inside, the crowds were overwhelming. Frustrated, we abandoned our plans and drove to MeeMaw's for a culinary outing downtown — a specialty of my mom's. She eventually chose a restaurant known for its shark fin soup, which was doing a promotion. I'm aware of the environmental concerns, but it's a traditional and well-known dish here. It makes me wonder how our ancestors ever thought to eat fins. It's like they said, “Let’s cut off their fins for dinner and dump the fish back into the ocean. Then we’ll just hope they grow back in time for tomorrow’s meal — there goes applause.” It's unbelievable. Technically I just had a bony dinner. Despite the amusement park thing, we enjoyed the day.
