03 Sep 2005 Slovenia

Slovenian food is also very influenced by Turkish and Greek cuisine, with lots of Kebab shops around. There are also many pizzerias due to the Italian influence. It is the land of hearty grain bread, with the occasional white bread in sight. Paprika is a common spice used in cooking. Beer is consumed quite early in the day. Near our hostel there was one sighting of a 9.30am consumption.

Burek from SloveniaHot dogs and sausages
There are street stalls all over town selling fried hot fast food. Items for sale include hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers made from very large patties served in a flat pita-like rolls with mustard and tomato sauce or capsicum salsa and raw onions. Another variety of this is cerapcici kajmakon, which is hamburger meat made into elongated meat balls served the same.
Another fast food they serve at these stalls is prebanec sklobaso - beans and onions in a peppery stew eaten with a chunk of bread and a sausage on top.
