Can someone tell me about Bratislava? Its culture etc?

Question

We have a twenty year old Bratislavan footballer coming to stay for a week. What will he want to eat?!

Answer 1

Bratislava is gorgeous.

I went on a youth exchange trip when i was 16 and stayed with a guy called Nico who is now a very close family friend, he comes over every year and we go over there to see him.

They are a very proud nation, they love the out doors and heritage (castles and museums etc) the national sport is Ice Hockey with Football a close second. It is either very warm out there or very cold.
Bratislava is a new capital, when czechoslavakia split in to the Czech republic and Slovakia the Czechs kept Prague and the slovakians chose Bratislava.
The men can appear very sexist, they love there mums but Nico used to only talk to my dad to start with because the women out there are not involved with their lives. they cook and clean etc but dont go out with them.
Food - He will eat anything, they as a nation they eat big dinners usually in large groups, a bit like the french, they eat as families so don't panic about what you cook.
Drink - Boy can they drink! spirits usually, with the occasional Budvar!!
A very nice nation, well worth the return visit if you get a chance. Anything else then email pinguhasnowingsathotmaildotcom

Answer 2

Bratislava is the capital of the Slovak Republic, a new State, following the division of the former Czechoslovak Republic. Since then, Bratislava has been the business, cultural and political centre of this nation in the centre of Europe. The city of Bratislava is located on the foothills of the Little Carpathians, on the South-West of Slovakia, close to the border with Hungary and Austria.
Food-wise, over the centuries Slovakian food has been influenced by its neighbours, especially Hungary and Austria. Soup and stews (Hungarian goulash) are popular. Soups include bean soup, pea soup, mushroom and lentil soups and sheep-cheese soup. Feta cheese dumplings (bryndzove halusky), potato dumplings and spicy stuffed potato pancakes are traditional dishes. Mushrooms, potatoes and sauerkraut are eaten with poultry, pork, lamb, game and fish (trout, carp and pike).
The cuisine of the Slovak Republic includes many types of pastries and cakes, for example, cakes with curd cheese filling, fruitcake, honey cakes and gingerbread. Kolache is a traditional pastry.
Beer, wine and plum brandy are produced in the Republic.

Answer 3

:-)) maybe i could answer your question since i am from Bratislava also. I am sure he won't have any special demands about food. He sure would be happy to taste YOUR national meat, whatever it is. Bratislava is an average european city and not very different from the other european cities. It sure will be a smashing guy!

Answer 4

Wellll.. When we went there, we were fed beer, beer, more beer, the occasional sausage, ham and cheese platter, usually followed by gherkins, and more beer. Had the time of our lives, got passed from friend to friend, and ended up overstaying our visa by 4 days. Checked out of our hotel on day 2 and stayed on the sofas of people we met.

Brilliant place, lovely people, never forgotten any of them!
