One food dish that is typical in Slovakia is stuffed cabbage. In
Slovak, it is called plnená kapusta. This dish is actually common
mainly in the eastern part of the country. The dishes common in the
rest are baked chicken with rice, various kinds of schnitzel
(breaded steak), and goulash stews served with a steamed dumpling
called knedľa. Also, the "national dish" of the country are potato
dumplings topped with a special sheep cheese called bryndza. Other
specialties are plum dumplings - plums covered in dough, cooked and
served topped with melted butter and ground poppy seeds, soups, and
all kinds of sweets.
