Why do Slovaks love pigs so much? 🐷
In this episode of The Blorecast, I explore Slovakia’s deep and delicious relationship with all things porcine — from schnitzels and slanina to zabíjačka and wild boars in the forest!
You’ll hear stories from my early days teaching in Humenné, discover why being vegetarian used to be a challenge in 1990s Slovakia, and learn about traditional dishes, local habits, and a few wild encounters along the way.
We’ll talk about:
🐽 Slovak pork dishes (goulash, schnitzel, klobása & more)
🌾 The zabíjačka tradition
🐗 Wild boars in Slovakia and whether they’re really dangerous
🍽️ How Slovak and British food cultures differ
If you’re a foodie, expat, or anyone curious about Central Europe, this episode’s for you!
