One of Andrew and my favourite dishes to eat from Slovakia is bryndzové halušky. I posted a recipe to halušky a paprikaš earlier, and the recipe for the halušky (a cross between a noodle and dumpling) is the same for both foods. Once you make the halušky, if you have access to bryndza (a sheep's cheese) you simply melt it along with bacon and bacon grease into the halušky. However, if you live anywhere near me, you don't, so I use a mixture of butter, feta cheese, and sour cream. The end result is a passable imitation of bryndza. I stir it into the halušky and add plenty of crumbled bacon as well as a fair amount of bacon grease. Stir it all together and serve as a meal of its own. It's quite heavy and fills you up faster than you expect, but is it ever delicious!
Warning: this is a very different taste and texture than most western palates are used to.
Dobrú chut'!
