Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Halusky

Although there are a variety of styles of halusky, one thing that remains common in all is the use of noodles/dumplings as the main ingredient. They can be made from wheat flour or potatoes.

Answer: Kapustnica

Kapustnica is traditionally served for Christmas dinner. On Christmas Eve, traditionally Catholics wouldn't eat meat, so you will often find a vegetarian version of this soup and a meaty version will be served on Christmas Day.

3. This traditional pastry is dough that is grilled over a fire. It is then topped with sugar and walnut mix. It is characterized by its hollow shape. What sweet treat is this?

Answer: Trdeln�k

The name trdeln�k comes from trdlo (a wooden tool used for pounding) that the pastry is wrapped around for cooking. Trdeln�k is said to have come from Transylvania (once part of Hungary) in the late 18th century.

Answer: B�bovka

B�bovka is very similar to a bundt cake and to bake, one would normally use a bundt pan to get the shape. Make sure to not mix the two batters together or you won't get the beautiful layers!

5. This yummy bread is traditionally baked on Holy Saturday so that it can be eaten on Easter Sunday. What is the name of this Easter bread?

6. Cheese is popular in many countries of the world. What crumbly sheep's milk cheese characterized by its strong smell and taste is very popular in Slovakia?

Answer: Bryndza

Bryndza is the main ingredient in Bryndzov� Halusky, which is often regarded as one of the national dishes in Slovakia. The characteristic smell and taste of bryndza comes from butyric acid.

Answer: Zincica

Zincica is made from whey, a by-product that is formed during the bryndza cheese making process. Zincica and Bryndzov� Halusky are often served together.

8. At the end of a long work day, many Slovaks like to sip a liquor that is made from damson plums. What traditional fruit brandy is this?

Answer: Slivovica

In addition to plum brandy, you can also find other p�lenka, similar to slivovica, made from apricots (marhu�ovica), apples (jablkovica), pears (hruskovica), cherries (ceresnovica) and many other fruits. They can be very strong so careful how much you drink!

Answer: Paren� buchty

In addition to sweet toppings and fillings, you can use more savory flavors such as nuts, sour cream or breadcrumbs. The texture should be spongy and moist.

10. Traditionally, in Slovakia, what meal was considered the main meal of the day?

Answer: Lunch

Of course, times have changed, and now many Slovaks consider dinner to be their main meal. This is all a personal preference though!
