TRADITIONS IN SLOVENIA, BY AINARA GUADIX

People greet each other by shaking hands (both formally and informally).

- When you are invited to a private party, you owe some detail (a wine, a dessert, some flowers, etc). - In formal business you should wear a jacket and tie.

- From the point of view of the label, there is no difference with Western Europe. - In restaurants, everyone pays what they have eaten (they never pay "half"). FOOD CUSTOMS

- Due to the weather conditions there are few vegetables that withstand the cold and are maintained throughout the year. Onions, potatoes and cabbages manage to resist the worst frosts, and that is why they are present in all local dishes despite the time.

- The cereals and the corn are the great allies of the local gastronomy, because by their characteristics they are able to resist the harshest winters. - The gohaja juha or "brown soup" is one of the most typical dishes of Slovenia. It is made with beef broth, many carrots and onions.

     

 

THAT WAS REALLY NICE AINARA! By Klemen Kusterle

To be honest not even I realized we had so many rules when it comes to social interactions. It all comes naturally I guess. What I would like to add is that I am not really sure what you meant by vegetables resisting the biggest frosts. It is not really that cold and they grow during summer.  Anyway, really good job.
