In this episode of the Blorecast, James dives into one of the tastiest parts of Slovak cuisine – carbohydrates! From fresh Slovak bread and fluffy rožky to potato pancakes, bryndzové halušky and pirohy, this is your guided tour through Slovakia’s most comforting, filling, and downright delicious foods. 🇸🇰

What you’ll hear about in this episode:

• Why Slovak bread is better than UK bread

• Potatoes (zemiaky, bandurky) in every possible form

• Traditional Slovak dishes like bryndzové halušky, šúľance, pirohy, Francúzske zemiaky and Černohorský rezeň

• The Slovak habit of mixing multiple carbs in one meal (yes, rice and chips together!)

• Why protein might be taking over Slovakia’s food scene… and why James is proudly #TeamCarb

Whether you’re an English learner brushing up your food vocabulary, a foodie interested in Central European cuisine, or just someone who loves potatoes, pasta and bread, this episode will give you a tasty slice of Slovak food culture.
