    Country #21 is SLOVENIA (!!!!!) 🇸🇮 After choosing to visit Austria, we spent several days researching its surrounding countries, and we quickly decided that we HAD to see Slovenia. As always, we believe one of the best ways to get to know a country is through its food, so we dove right in and ate our hearts out in Ljubljana. 😋 Have you ever tried Slovenian food? 🌾
    Next week, we’ll be sharing our day trip from Ljubljana to the world famous Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave, so get ready for a video filled with adventure! 🏰 See you next Saturday! 😁

    Watching you eat these various foods reminded me that all these dishes were made by my Hungarian grandmother. Potica next time needs poppyseed! Too bad you'll miss Budapest/not bad you'll skip Orban. 🤨 Really enjoyed the castle tour..thinking how impressive that whole cities sprang up and flourished from these remote locations. Lovely countryside! Onward and ahead...from Wisconsin 🍻😊

Like the fact that Claire and Chad cover so many different foods from the countries they visit...places I'll never see.

    It is absolutely not necessary to fill every video with admiration. Slovenian food, as everywhere in Cisleithania, is unimaginative and primitive. Cabbage soup, boiled buckwheat and refried beans - what can be more boring. Try to dissolve your monotonous atmosphere of super excitement with a spice of irony, sarcasm and mockery. I would even say: let the irony and understatement prevail. Be funny.

Only when you add ingredients from somewhere far they become more tasty and interesting.

      Talking about food in different parts of Cisleithania you can notice than not only traditional food there is boring. What can be more boring than boiled veal with boiled carrots in a broth they serve in high profile restaurants in Vienna? Or the breaded veal chop they are so proud of?

      @@ErmakBrovar It's clear that you don't know much about traditional food in general. Slovene food would be exotic for Asian people, for Central European people it is not, no wonder why. Nevertheless, does Edible dormouse (Glis glis) sound borring?, what about gibanica cake (several layers of apples, cottage cheese and poppy seeds), Soška postrv (marble trout), Bacon jam (bacon-based relish called zaseka), Blood sausages, Savinjski želodec (dried meat product named after the stomach), Kraški pršut (Prosciutto del Carso in Italian)? Considering the various geographical features of Slovenia and the influences from Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans, we can say that Slovenian traditional food is very diverse. And then there are wines and brandys... Edit: we do use tomatoes you know. In Fact many Italians do appreciate Slovenian cuisine very much.
