Bryndzove Halusky

Slovakia’s national dish is called Bryndzove Halusky. Bryndza is a type of soft cheese made from sheep’s milk. It is paired with bacon and potato dumplings called Halušky. Since most of Slovakia’s early inhabitants were farmers, they developed this dish from farmed potatoes and homemade cheeses. This dish can be found in households and Slovak restaurants. It is typically made for the Halušky Festival held in Turecká. Traditionally, a glass of sour milk or zincica is drunk with Bryndzove Halusky.
