EN:Slovak Cuisine

Slovak Cuisine is a Central European culinary tradition closely related to Czech cuisine, while pastoral and mountain influences are particularly prominent in some regions. Iconic specialties include bryndzové halušky (potato dumplings with bryndza, a sheep's-milk cheese, often topped with bacon), kapustnica (sauerkraut soup, with sausage and dried mushrooms in many variants), pirohy (filled dumplings), parenica (a lightly smoked cheese), oštiepok (a cheese that may be smoked or unsmoked), and lokše (potato flatbreads).
