A couple of weeks ago I released a Slovenian Food video showing some of the food I would eat in a day in Slovenia. I had an overwhelming amount of comments suggesting that I try traditional Slovenian food so that it was I did. I visited several restaurants and pastry shops across Ljubljana, Slovenia, and I found a few of the traditional Slovenian food dishes including: Štruklji, Potica, Premurska Gibanica, and Jota.

Since, I have been in Slovenia I have absolutely loved the food. The traditional food of Slovenia was no different. Of all the items that I tried, the Jota on the cold day was easily my favorite. It was quite filling, and the taste was wonderful. There was sausage and sauerkraut. It was absolutely wonderful. As far as the other dishes go, it still blows me away how a dessert here can be so unsweet. As an American expat, my expectations for dessert still haven't changed, and due to this every time I try a new dessert here I feel a bit underwhelmed. I simply think it is due to the fact that Slovenian dishes do not include an abundance of sugar like the American desserts. I think once I travel to America again I'll have a culinary shock.

Overall Slovenian food is delicious. I would consider myself more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and I think that is what Slovenian food is all about. I absolutely adore vegetables, and the Slovenian's are no different. Every dish is served with a beautiful display of vegetables. Often root vegetables like potatoes, but as I said above I believe I will like most traditional Slovenian food as it generally fits into the type of food I like to eat.

Of the desserts, I the Premurska Gibanica was definitely my favorite. I think it was a combination of the fact that is was served hot and almost melted my mouth. It reminded of childhood when I would rush to eat the baked good that just came out of the oven. As an American Expat living in Europe specifically Slovenia, I have been very comfortable with the food thus far. Often times, you hear Americans complaining about the food in Europe, but to me this honestly makes no sense. I genuinely enjoy the tender loving care that goes into all foods here. Again, it reminds me of childhood and all of the family gatherings we had to celebrate the holidays.

As I was roaming the city for this video, I noticed that the Christmas trees in Ljubljana are popping up everywhere. The Christmas season in Slovenia is almost upon us, and I could not be more excited. Christmas has to be my favorite time of year. Everyone is joyous, the songs are merry, and the food. Oh the food is wonderful. Also, the mass in the church and the celebration of the birth of Jesus is such a beautiful time.

In conclusion, I truly enjoyed the traditional Slovenian food that I tried. It was all delicious, and someday I will go to the Slovenian villages to get an even more traditional experience.
