ITT: just Eastern European things

why is slavic 'cuisine' so disgusting?

but with fermented cabbage instead

Same here.

Slop like this is what motivated me to learn how to cook.

Eating well make you happy and being happy is gay

everything that involves boiled cabbage is disgusting

DON'T INSULT MY CULTURE

I don't like fermented veggies in a soup but my wife does. I truly suffer

I don't like fermented veggies in a soup

You're weak.

Under the name jota, it is typical and especially popular in Trieste and its province (where it is considered to be the prime example of Triestine food), in the Istrian peninsula, in the province of Gorizia, in the whole Slovenian Littoral, in the Rijeka area, and in Friuli, especially in some of its peripheral areas (the highland region of Carnia, the Torre and Natisone river valleys, or Slavia Veneta). The stew, based on etymology, most likely originated in Friuli before spreading east and south.

Jota seems to derive from a Celtic root and has parallels in the ancient Friulian language.

Guess them guineas didn't cook so good!

I am stronk it's just too sour and imbalanced

I gotta admit, bigos is the best of the eastie sour stews and actually tastes quite decent. My dad makes it sometimes, three types of meat, plums, and all.

slavs don't even eat their cuisine anymore
i swear, i live in Warsaw and I can't find a Polish restaurant nowadays anywhere near me, the closest one is probably in the old town where it is a fake americanized version of our cuisine to cater to foreign tourists
meanwhile in regular housing districts there are only kebab shops, pizzerias, viet restaurants, georgian bakeries and nowadays even indian restaurants, but finding anything genuinely Polish is a very hard task, if anything there are more Ukrainian restaurants where you can eat something similar (but not the same)
Poles just don't like their traditional food and when only got a possibility to eat something different, they happily ditched their "culture" for good

funny cuz most poverty food ingredients could be used in far more appetizing ways than simply mixing them together in a put to create disgusting slop. it was laziness and a general lack of creativity that created disgusting shit like OP's pic, which is completely understandable because poor people are almost always lazy and/or stupid.
poor cabbage, just pickle it or use it in a salad.

Bigos is epic

which is completely understandable because poor people are almost always lazy and/or stupid.

once again, why it wasn't like that in Italy? their poor people food was god-tier and still is
and they just eat their own cuisine only, despite being already rich, they almost don't have kebabs or indian restaurants like in eastern Europe

Eastern European cuisine was a mistake

is something like bigos a traditional Slovene dish or you brought the concept recently from Poland?
I believe Hungary might have something similar because bigos is actually a "nomadic" type of a dish, it was traditionally eaten here by hunters.

BASEDBASEDBASEDBASEDBASEDBASEDBASEDBASED
boiled cabbage is by far the most disgusting food people consume
love pickled cabbage, love raw cabbage, cooked cabbages can pass in certain dishes but boiled cabbage is unacceptable (it's boiled if you let it cook in its own juices)

bigos is fine indeed, because we add a lot of paprika, pepper and other spicies into that, very unusually for Polish cuisine (that's why I believe the bigos we know must have something to do with Hungary)

autumn

enter my commieblock

strong smell of fermenting cabbage comes from the basements

yep, its sauerkraut time. god i fucking love this shit

btw, it's even quite common to add some wine to boiling bigos which already must be a Hungarian thing because we don't even produce wine here

Pretty much everyone has this. We have fermented vesions of pretty much every vegetable and wide variety of dishes.

fermented cabbage with rice

fermented cabbage with pork, chicken etc.

fermented cabbage ''sarmi''

fermented grape leaves ''sarmi''

fermented peppers with eggs

fermented peppers filled with fermented carrots and garlic

fermented peppers with rice

fermented carfiol, carrots, peppers as part of a salad

fermented cocumbers

fermented green tomatoes

And so on and so on.

I don't think you balkanoids can be counted as "eastern Europe" in terms of cuisine, it's just another (ofc better) culinary world than mine

No, dad likes to make Anon Babble cuisine and I sometimes make suggestions, like bigos (or flygende Jakob or whatever). I don't think that there is a sauekraut stew in traditional Slovenian cuisine. There's not even cabbage rolls, those were brought from BSH lands.

This looks delish and i am pretty sure we have the same over here.

Most slavic food is a disgusting slop but kiełbasa is the best style of sasuage in the world

looks similar to székelykáposzta. it's common to add white beans to it and to eat it with sour cream

kiełbasa is the best style of sasuage in the world

wtf are you talking about, kiełbasa isn't any "style", it's just a general term for a sausage here and different kinds of kiełbasas are made in different ways

eat it with sour cream

yeah, I already found that the version of bigos with sour cream is apparently named "Hungarian bigos" here
quite weird, since sour cream is something typically associated with Poland/Russia, not Hungary

Thuringian sausage exists doe

Hey, we too call it kislo zelje (Serbs and Croats call it kiseli kupus)! I like sauerkraut with (blood) sausages, and with žganci and pork rinds (pic).

(blood) sausages

vgh

It isn't a style in Poland, but if you look broader and consider sausages from around the world you can classify it as a style/type or whatever you wanna call it.

because being poor in Italy means something completely else than being poor in Eastern Europe. don't make me explain it, you know exactly well what I meant.

I put smetana (that's the Slovenian name) in my golaž, and into just about every other EE stew too.

I don't know, we love sour cream too
we even eat ratatuille with sour cream although that's probably a regional thing

God dammit, now i am hungry.

from around the world you can classify it as a style/type

idk, most our kiełbasas have direct equivalents in other types of sausages in eastern Europe/Germany so it's not some peculiar style on its own
there are maybe several subtypes of kiełbasas that are only typical for Poland but not the whole "genre"

You are not Hungary you are Bulgaria

Unwanted fact: we like Krakow kolbasa here (it's cured pork sausage with big blobs of fat in it)

I would like to try some eastern euro food

because being poor in Italy means something completely else than being poor in Eastern Europe. don't make me explain it, you know exactly well what I meant.

but rural Spain or rural Greece or even rural Turkey were as poor as rural Eastern Europe at least up to 1970s yet their "poor cuisine" is also god-tier comparing to ours

smetana (that's the Slovenian name)

yes, in Polish too (śmietana)
you can see it's a product known by Slavs since the beginning of their existence because all Slavs share the same name

and into just about every other EE stew too.

here we usually add sour cream to soups, but it's more like a "family thing" - some families cannot imagine whatever soup without sour cream, some hate it

cured pork sausage with big blobs of fat in it)

we have dozens of sausage types that are like that (and differ with some minor details)
btw, I don't like it, these pieces of white fat inside always put me off
to be honest, I don't really like Polish sausages because they are too fat and "watered" to me, I prefer super-dry Med/Balkan sausages like salami or chorizo. Out of "Polish" sausages I only like kabanosy (because they're dry)

you probably have an easteuroslop restaurant somewhere in your town
but it's not really worth trying imo, believe me, eastoids themselves prefer to eat kebabs rather than their own stuff

they never faced such food shortages than we have, that's why whatever their poor people used to eat didn't even come close to what ours ate out of necessity.

they never faced such food shortages than we have,

these were only in communism, yet our cuisine was a "slop" already before WW2
though probably it doesn't apply to Hungary, your cuisine is known as very good even here

because all Slavs share the same name

in Croatian it's vrhnje and in Serbian it's pavlaka

they use both names

its mostly "med" type of food here, but mixed with eastern yuro, we still have lots of "grim" eastern euro staples

like pic fucking related lmao

and here in Bulgaria particularly we fucking LOVE our fermented stuff, we ferment everything

yeah, if it's cream soup, but not if it's broth. Beef noodle broth is one of the most basic dishes here, it starts off every formal family meal.

Oops accidently made a thread....hopefully mods will delete it.

I cook food all across the world using Youtube recipes(I always check where the cook is from btw, so I don't end up cooking some garbage by an A*nglo ), and Slavic food is actually pretty good, strangely enough they resemble something like Korean, German or Persian foods(Tartar influence?)
But anyways stuff like Plov, Beef Stragonoff, Paprikash, Chebureki, plenty of good Eastern European food, no need to be ashamed about your cuisine, at least you guys don't make pig feed like Nords, WWII rations like Brits or health hazards like Americans

like pic fucking related lmao

yeah, this thing is literally what boomeroids here worship, i couldn't stand in the kitchen when my parents were preparing that meatjelly slop and seeing them eating this made me puke

nta but we have had famines before the 20th century too

I see your mega žolca and raise you a kuglof sarma!

EE food is very good. I also like pickled and fermented everything.

so did everyone except for western Europe

Slavs making the world a worse place, than they cry about their living conditions.

Beef noodle broth is one of the most basic dishes here, it starts off every formal family meal.

yeah, just like here, it's a common starter for a Sunday dinner or just for whatever formal dinner (though chicken version is more popular, but beef is fairly common too)

does Slovenia have a developed cake culture, btw? here cakes are maybe what saves our otherwise shitty cuisine, I must admit our cakes are great

Shitalian cuisine was made up in the 20th century. Look up when Tiramisu was invented, or how Americans GI's were shocked to find out Pizzerias didn't exist in Naples

my fucking sides

though still the best cake in the universe was invented by Germans and that's what I forgive them whole WW2 for

we would call that a marmorni kolač, it's very common. But THE Slovenian dessert is potica (pic). Nut and tarragon are the two trad fillings. And strudl is also a grandma dessert. Imo the saving grace of Slovenian cuisine is that chicken tendies are a traditional Slovenian dish.

we have something similar but filled with poppy seeds

yeah, of course, forgot about that

kolač

here kołacz refers only to "wedding bread" (de facto cake)

cake is "ciasto" here

Of course Balkan food is better, the weather warmer and they have a sea right next to them. The reason Mediterranean "poverty cuisine" tastes good is because the ingredients taste fresh. For how cold EE is, Slavic food is good, I mean compare your food to Nordic food or even worse, Anglo food(literal white people food meme even thought their countries are resource rich)

vgh i wish i weren't at the near-diabetes stage now...

walking down a street early in the afternoon

get stared at by pic related

and they have a sea right next to them.

...so do you

Lithuanians will cope, seethe and dilate now...
...but it's our cake

weird ass kürtőskalács

I'm using a proxy sis, I'm not Slavic...Anyways look up "Norweigan cuisine" before complaining about your food

was common here 20 years ago but nowadays babushkas with headscarves are already very rare, even in the village
my auntie who died last year was probably the last woman in her village who still wore a headscarf

cake is "ciasto" here

we call it torta, like a Mexican sanguich. Schwarzwald and sacher cake can be got in every last Albanian pastry shop in SLO.

Serbian food has exactly the same ingredients as Hungarian food, only the dishes are more Muslim-influenced

Still popular in villages over here.
It has become a rare sight in the city. The old ladies usually gather in parks or if there's a bench in front of the commieblock. You can sometimes notice old ladies smoking from their windows watching over the neighbourhood.

Yeah I noticed, Hungarians seem to use tomatos and chilli pepper which is strange. balkan food seems good but I can't find much resources online but from what I've seen they share a lot in common with Greek or Turksih

Still popular in villages over here.

I believe it's more of a thing for orthodox women since they're obliged to wear a headscarf in the orthodox temple. It was never a thing in catholic churches (or at least it wasn't strictly enforced).

"Tort" here means a type of a cake, usually the one you celebrate something with (birthday, wedding etc)

what hungarian dishes use chilli peppers other than chilli paste?

keywords: gourmet pljeskavica, lepinja, urnebes, kajmak, ajvar, lutenica, ćevapi, burek

also, check this out. Too bad etymology maps fell out of fashion on reddit.

Hijab

Bulgarians...

Funny that there's one popular cuisine ranking and polish is higher than our. No idea how they made it

slav food is le indib-ACK

idk, is this channel pretty accurate of hungarian cuisine?
m.youtube.com/@kitchenpaprikash3888/videos
i tried making cevapi with kajmak, raw onions and pita its good

They wear it all the time and feel weird if they don't.

"Tort" here means a type of a cake

Same here.
Tartă is tart (fruit pie where you can see the the fruit).
Plăcintă is a pie with a fruit or sweet cottage cheese filling (or layers). And before you ask, the word does have common origin with the Latin placenta (plăcintă and placenta are both words in the Romanian vocabulary).

Here it is, even 11th this year tasteatlas.com/best/cuisines

that site is Croatian

and polish is higher than our.

I mean, I don't say that Ukrainian cuisine is better than Polish. Just Ukrainian restaurants are more common here than Polish restaurants because Ukrainians here are often poor refugee women who have no other job opportunities other that cooking, meanwhile Poles basically stopped running their own food places because simply there is too much competition from all kinds of ethnic restaurants that offer better food for lower prices and are open 24/7, and Poles have better work options now.

But ofc the fact that Polish cuisine is so high in this ranking is ridiculous and I can only believe it happened because either Poles brigaded that voting to boost Polish rate or simply those who judged that are some fake slop for tourists in the old town

I'm saying that people here somewhat appreciate stereotypical local cuisine, but yours don't apparently

I could gobble up kebabslop 24/7

Greek should be artos.

but yours don't apparently

people only do that when a foreigner tells them that their cuisine is shit, then they will defend bigos and pierogi like their own mother
but in real life, average Pole's daily menu is like kebab, pizza, pad thai, hot dog

Borscht is just plain bad, especially when served cold, that shit is nasty
