Forgotten traditional dishes of the Slovenian countryside

Slovenija je kljub svoji majhnosti kulinarično izredno bogata dežela. Običaji in navade slovenskega podeželja ob praznikih ali vsakdanjikih so zelo zanimivi, še bolj pa so zanimive jedi, ki so jih pri tem pripravljali. Cilj naloge je bil predstaviti pozabljene tradicionalne jedi slovenskega podeželja. Opisali smo jedi ter zbrali recepte teh jedi in jih povezali z opravili oz. priložnostmi, ob katerih so te jedi pripravljali. Opravili smo razgovore z lokalnimi strokovnjaki na področju gastronomije in poiskali zgodovinske zapise o teh jedeh. Poskušali smo ugotoviti zakaj te pozabljene tradicionalne jedi nimajo več prostora na jedilnikih v družinah oz. gostilnah. Na ta način smo obogatili obstoječo gastronomsko banko z nekaterimi pozabljenimi tradicionalnimi jedmi slovenskega podeželja. Odkrili smo, da je za Notranjsko značilno veliko tradicionalnih jedi, kot so: polhov golaž, ocvrta ščuka, bloška trojka, grenadir marš, kožarice, krompirjevi žganci in vinski štrukeljci. Jedi, kot je polhov golaž, se pripravljajo samo še zaradi ohranjanja tradicije in zabave. Ščuko, grenadir marš in vinske štrukeljce se ne pripravlja več tako pogosto in nimajo posebnega mesta na jedilnikih družin. Kožarice in bloška trojka pa so se ohranili do danes, saj se pogosto znajdejo tudi na jedilnikih v vsakem letnem času, saj nam zamrzovalne skrinje danes to omogočajo. Bolj bi se morali zavzemati za ohranjanje naše kulinarične dediščine in zaščito receptur ter priprave teh pozabljenih tradicionalnih jedi.Despite its small size, Slovenia is an exceptionally culinary rich country. The customs and habits of Slovenian countryside when celebrating or in everyday life are very interesting, but even more interesting are the dishes that are prepared for the occasions. The aim of the thesis was to collect recipes and present almost forgotten traditional dishes of Slovenian countryside. We collected recipes that related to the occasions at which dishes were prepared. We made face-to-face (F2F) interviews with local experts in the field of gastronomy and researched historical notes about the dishes. We tried to find out why these forgotten traditional dishes do not find themselves more often on standard family and restaurants menus. Due to this investigation, the existing gastronomic bank became richer with some of forgotten traditional dishes of Slovenian countryside. We found out many traditional dishes that originate in Notranjska region, for example: dormouse goulash, fried pike, Bloke tris, "grenadir marš", "kožarice", hard boiled potato and wine dumplings. Dishes such as dormouse goulash are today prepared only for the sake of preserving tradition or entertainment. Fried pike, "grenadir marš" and wine dumplings are also not prepared oftenthey do not have a special place on family menus. On the other hand, "kožarice" and Bloke tris are traditional dishes, which have been preserved during history. We often find them on menus at any time of the year, as freezers keep them available all the time. We should be more obliged to preserving our culinary heritage, protecting recipes and preparing forgotten traditional dishes
