The cuisine of Slovenia

The foods of Slovenia
Slovenia is a small country with dramatic contrasts - from an alpine climate in the north, through the wineproducing hills of Stajerska, to the sub-Mediterranean region in the south.
These geographical features lend varied regional emphasis to the cuisine, which is characterized by simple country fare, often enhanced by the dishes of the surrounding countries - Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia.
There are many contenders for the title of Slovenia’s national dish.
One of them is Štruklji.
Štruklji comes in the form of rolls consisting of two parts: dough and filling. And comes Prekmurska gibanica a layered pastry that contains poppy seeds, walnuts, apples, raisins and quark fillings. Although native to Prekmurje, it has achieved the status of a national specialty of Slovenia.It's so popular that it appears on one of the country's stamps!
