From an overview of the culinary
heritage of the area, three local caterers have designed three different themed
menus especially for you, connecting the past and tradition of our area with
modern culinary approaches that you can also try for yourself. You can choose
between:
EATERY KUHLA
The
inspiration for Sitarjevec brunch goes far back in time. Bread and apple mostly
consisted of a snack that the miners brought to work. Sitarjevec brunch in a
modern guise contains a cake with cracklings, bacon in buckwheat dough
accompanied by a slice of apple, horseradish mousse, and warm apple and plum
compote. The breaded slices consist of two fried layers of bread filled with
plum jam in the middle. Topped with plum mousse, buckwheat biscuit, pear crumbs,
and dried pears in chocolate. For an even more attractive culinary experience,
both dishes are served in a mine shaft, served on a nice wooden board, and
wrapped in a paper casserole.
CAF
É
AND EATERY PRI MOSTU
In
the Café and eatery Pri mostu, guests are served a real peasant feast,
which is rarely found on miners' plates, seasonally, when pork was also
available, as long as they had room to raise piglets: pork soup with homemade
noodles, blood sausage with sauerkraut and cracklings, homemade cracklings cake.
The vegetarian version contains mushroom soup, sauerkraut, buckwheat porridge,
and vegetarian cracklings. The soup is served in an old-fashioned soup bowl the
main course on a wooden board, and the cracklings cake with crackling sauce on a
nice wooden board.
