Not fried and a thinly rolled out pancake. We filled them with cottage cheese, mak or lekvar. Langos~e are also delicious. ________________________________ ...
Langose are best when topped with garlic oil or butter, shredded edam cheese, and tartar sauce. Some people love ketchup on them too... But if you ask me, the...
Caye, My Grandfather's family (where we had the Loksa) is in Zemplinska Teplica, about 30 km east of Kosice...probably not far from Brezina as it sounds. My...
After their sacrifices in the former Yugoslavia, Iraq & Afghanistan, I would think they would rethink. If we abandon them [like we always do: Vietnam, Iraq,...
Dennis, I've forwarded the scan and your questions to my colleague who knows Hungarian (he covers Hungary in our reading room). He's on leave today and...
Zemplinska Teplica is about 3 miles from my dad's village (Slanske Nove Mesto, to the SW) and about 3 miles from my mom's village (Male Ozorovce, to the NW)....
Yep, Tom/Helen, Our ancestral villages are stones throws away from each other -- Brezina is straight south of both of your areas. My cousins crack up...
Oh Hellen,that sounds great! Thanks so much, Dennis ... Hungarian (he covers Hungary in our reading room). He's on leave today and tomorrow's a holiday, but...

Helen and Caye, Great to know your relatives come from so close to where my Grandfather's family does. My mother actually inherited some land from an Uncle (my...
I've seen Slan** -- on the map, I'd have to look for the proper spelling, but you are correct, it's named for the mountain range -- which I think (lol) is...
I can't remember what my mom called them but after they were cooked in a dry skillet, she spread them with butter while warm and then sprinkled them with...
... It probably went the other way round. The castle (a ruin for hundreds of years now) was originally named after after a type of soil in the area (or...
Caye and Tom, When I was growing up, I heard the old names of a number of towns and villages rather than the "new" Slovak ones. Kerestur was one of them. My...
Thank you, Martin, I did see the castle (only from the main road) at Slanec, but never got a chance to stop (probably should have). My relative who came and...
... That would certainly be what we'd expect with modern names. All mountain ranges have names by now, and new places are named after them. Many places in...
We got the followings from one of our suppliers... Like many consumer products companies, NAME WITHHELD currently has moved some of its manufacturing to China....
To keep this in perspective.... There ia a great Slovak Night Before Christmas with a MS Word format version that prints to one page to include with your...
Dear Greg, I don't think that Baba and Grandpap (not dedko even though he was Slovak)could understand this; but it is "cute" - - -Starbucks, X box, K Mart,...
Recently, our local Slovak society met a young Slovak man who's going to graduate school in D.C. in aeronautical engineering. To make a long story short, he...
