Just made bryndzové halušky for the first time–hello from beautiful Washington DC!

  1. Many embassies in Washington open to the public every May. I visited the Slovak embassy because I have Slovak heritage (that I know very little about.) I tried bryndzové halušky and it was *delicious*. I made some at home and it wasn’t too bad! I had to substitute bryndza with cottage cheese and heavy cream, but I think it worked out well enough.

  2. It actually looks nice. I think that you are on the right track. Now try Kapustnica. In my opinion, it’s the best soup on this planet and.

  3. Pecorino cheese (you can 100% get that in the US) with cream cheese is almost like bryndza. Cottage cheese just doesn’t have the salt and the funk like bryndza does.

  4. When I and my gf were in Norway and we’ve wanted to make some bryndzové halušky, we’d just use feta instead. No sour cream and very easy on the salt. If you use the water from making halušky with the feta it’s nearly the exact same as bryndza and a little lighter on the gut, because bryndza is unpasteurised, which may be a bit threatening on warm days.

  5. But… is that legal? Champagne can only be made in France, and Bryndzové Halušky TM can only be made in Slovakia, right?
